# JobInfo Scanner

**Applies to:** Lasernet Core 10

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

## Text as Input Format

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 – see the [Lasernet XML Transformer 10 Guide](/v1/docs/lasernet-xml-transformer-10-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 check box to apply the Value XPath as a JobInfo name. |
| 4 | Replace existing | Select the check box 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. |
