How to get the MimeType of a Document

We can easily access the MimeType of a document using the Document Variable in a process
If our process is configured to use a Folder variable, we can simply loop through the Folder to access each Document

Required:

• Process with Document Variable
• KIC Import configured

For a process configured with a Folder Initialisation variable, please configure a loop and then follow these steps on the loop iteration:

1. Add a manual node
2. On the input of the manual node map in the Document.System property 'MimeType'
   i.e. Click on the Document Variable, Click on System, then choose MimeType:
   
   
3. Using your KIC import, ingest various document types (.pdf, .tiff, .png, .jpg)
4. Wait for your manual activity to become pending
   The MimeTypes will be displayed as follows:
   application/pdf
   image/tiff
   image/jpeg
   image/png

This article was to demo how we can access this property,
We can then use it in decision nodes etc as required
