Field Types​

Best Match - Identifies the highest ranked label for that field within the document. If no labels are identified, no result for that field is returned in the Extraction. Top-1 is used when you only want one result for each field or want to prevent duplicates when a field occurs multiple times within a document.

All - Returns all instances of a field within the document. If a model identifies 5 labels of a field, all 5 labels will be returned in the extraction. This field type is ideal for fields that extend across multiple text blocks, such as multiple lines in an address. Tabular - Groups any identified label into a table format. If tabular is selected, Exfil will associate each identified label with its corresponding row and column. To create a tabular data type, perform the following steps:

Table - Enter the table name at the top of the Field tab. You can define as many tables as you need. Field name and type - Select Add Field then enter the field name and select table from the field type dropdown.

  • Define table - Enter the table name at the top of the Field tab. You can define as many tables as you need. Field name and type - Select Add Field then enter the field name and select tabular from the field type dropdown.

  • Choose the table - Select the table from the dropdown of available tables. If the table isn't in the dropdown, ensure you have added the table in the above Define table step.

  • Anchor Column - Set the anchor column to one field within the table. The anchor columns helps identify the rows within the table. Each table must have an anchor but you can only have one column as an anchor in each table.

info

The anchor can be any column within the table. For the best results, set the anchor to the most frequently occurring field within the table.
