Business value
With this feature, users can extract extreme volumes of data from tables in web pages without worrying about timing out or having performance-related issues.
Feature details
The Extract data from web page action is now able to handle the extraction of huge tables that have great volumes of data. Two new parameters have been added:
Process data upon extraction: You can process extracted data to present it exactly as displayed in the web page. When this is enabled, processing of extracted data is performed. (Data processing includes displaying the information nesting in iFrames and filtering through hidden or visible elements.) Note: For larger datasets, having this option enabled isn't recommended as it will increase the extraction time.
Timeout: You can set the time (in seconds) that you want to wait for the extraction to be completed before the action fails.
