# JobInfo Scanner

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 11

The JobInfo Scanner scans for JobInfos in text or XML (as input format).

## Text as Input Format ![The JobInfo Scanner modifier Setup tab with Text input format selected.](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/jobinfo-scanner-image-lyje91hx.png)

Scans text data for the syntax **#JobInfo Name=Value#** and works on 8-bit data only.

The table below provides a brief description of the action properties:

| **Property** | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Extraction Mode** | Specifies whether the embedded JobInfo Syntax in data must be Leaved, Overwritten or Removed after scanning of data. |
| **Overwrite Character** | Character in hexadecimal to overwrite the characters in the JobInfo syntax string. |
| **Log level** | To extract the JobInfos from the document and create them on the current job, you need to specify a category under which the events related to the JobInfo are logged. - **JobInfo:** The events related to the JobInfo are logged under the JobInfo category. - **Debug:** The events related to the JobInfo are logged under the Debug category. - **NoLog:** The events related to the JobInfo are not logged. |

## XML as Input Format

Scan XML data by defining an XPath for value and name. Works similar to the **Create JobInfo** action in the [XML Transformer](/v1/docs/lasernet-xml-transformer-guide).

The table below provides a brief description of the action properties:

|  | Property | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **Value XPath** | The XPath value specifies which nodes contain the values for JobInfos. |
| 2 | **Name** | Specify a JobInfo name. |
| 3 | **Use value as name** | Select the checkbox to apply the Value XPath as a JobInfo name. |
| 4 | **Replace existing** | Select the checkbox to replace any other JobInfo with the same name. Some JobInfos can contain a list of several values for example, an email distribution list. |
| 5 | Node **Name is** | **Text:** Select the radio button to interpret the value indicated in the **Name** field as text. **XPath:** Select the radio button to interpret the value indicated in the **Name** field as an XPath. |
| 6 | **Log level** | To extract the JobInfos from the document and create them on the current job, you need to specify a category under which the events related to the JobInfo are logged. **JobInfo:** The events related to the JobInfo are logged under the JobInfo category. **Debug:** The events related to the JobInfo are logged under the Debug category. **NoLog:** The events related to the JobInfo are not logged. |
