Example
Your clients submit documents to you from which you need to extract data. These documents are similar but not the same. Each version of your document needs a Fixed Form Extraction template.
When you are designing your Flow, you want to simplify the logic used in the Flow and feed in all the documents at the same time. Using this function, you can feed the Flow all the different versions of your document and the function selects the correct Fixed Form template to use.
The results in the Flow select only the best match template for your Flow but a field is created for each template. The field with the selected template is populated with the resulting data. The field with the unselected template will have a <null> value.
Automation recommends using the IsNotNull (filter) function after this function to identify which template has been selected and contains data.
