REST Connector

REST - Azure Blob Storage

A REST Connector Project must be set up to utilize Azure Blob Storage.

Create a new REST Service Connector named "Azure Blob Storage v3" and import the configuration file "Azure Blob Storage v3.ncrcp." For more information see Import a REST Configuration.

There are some additional steps to do:

  • Replace all the API key values in the connector

  • Select “Save” to save the API Key

  • Select “Save” to save the REST Connector Configuration

API values are coming from Azure Blob Service SAS URL

Review Microsoft Blob Storage's Documentation for additional information on how to utilize this service.

REST - Azure Table Storage

A REST Connector Project must be set up to utilize Azure Table Storage.

Create a new REST Service Connector named "Azure Table Storage v3" and import the configuration file "Azure Table Storage v3.ncrcp." For more information see Import a REST Configuration.

There are some additional steps to do:

  • Replace all the API key values in the connector

  • Select “Save” to save the API Key

  • Select “Save” to save the REST Connector Configuration

API values are coming from Azure Table Service SAS URL

Review Microsoft Table Storage's Documentation for additional information on how to utilize this service.

REST - Azure Form Recognizer Custom Model API

A REST Connector Project must be set up to utilize the Microsoft Form Recognizer Cognitive Service.

Create a new REST Service Connector named "Azure Form Recognizer Custom Model API v3" and import the configuration file "Azure Form Recognizer Custom Model API v3.ncrcp." For more information see Import a REST Configuration.

  • Enter a Base Address (example: https://westus2.api.cognitive.microsoft.com )

Replace this with the Endpoint from your previously created Form Recognizer Cognitive Service.

Installation

Make sure that you have created all services, connectors, and Flow properties before importing the workflows.

1. Import Workflows

Import workflows in the file "Form Recognizer.wap".

For additional details see Import Workflows.

2. Setting Menu Roles

Together with the imported workflows there will also be a menu. Connect the menu to your roles to make them available for users.

For details see Setting Menu Roles

3. Publishing Workflows

Within the Server Contents Window right click on the Form Recognizer folder and select “Publish”. This process can take a few minutes but once complete, a Publish Successful message will be displayed.

If you receive any errors during the publication of the workflow. Please review the error detail and consult your support contact with the relevant information.

The workflows will now be available to execute on your chosen Flow client. For instructions on individual Form Recognizer functions, please consult the function individual documentation provided separately.

For details see Publishing Workflows
