Examples
Example 1
Assuming we are scanning from a PaperCut scan action and including an xml of metadata alongside the scanned file, Umango can capture the authenticated user's email address using the configuration below.
(For configuration of the scan action in PaperCut, please refer to PaperCut's documentation).
Sample XML file from PaperCut
The xPath reference to the user's email address found in the PaperCut XML file

Sample XML containing the attribute "importance"
In this example, the result would be "Importance Level HIGH"
Example 3
In the example below we are capturing the value of the element "heading" from an xml file on our network.
