You can tailor the data extraction to your needs by editing already existing data points or creating new ones.
Want to know how to do that? Let's dive in!
First, select one of your processes from your Dashboard. Once you are in the Queue view, click the Configuration button:
In the Configuration, from the navigation on the left side of the page, select the Data points definition tab.
Note:
When you create a custom process, you will be redirected to the Data points definition automatically.
For the supervised processes (Invoices, Receipts, Passports) and templates (e.g. Driving licenses, Purchase orders, Birth certificates, Utility bills), we have already set a ready-made field selection for extraction. Take a look:
Custom process
A part of creating your custom process is setting up your custom fields from scratch, therefore the data points list will be empty.
You can also add new data points to your process. To do that, click the +Add new data point button.
In the case of supervised processes (Invoices, Receipts, and Passports), you can decide whether you wish to capture a Custom or Default data point.
Choose the Default option whenever you want to add ready-made fields for extraction from the dedicated list.
Choose the Custom option whenever you want to define a new data point from scratch.
Default data point
The first step is to select the type of data you want to capture. In the case of the supervised processes, you can capture both text and tables (the columns, data types, and relationships between columns, as well as the actual information stored in the table).
Next, choose the ready-made field from the list.
Now you can either hit the Create new field button on top of the panel or go through the Optional settings:
Data format Select what formatting should we apply to this data point when found in a document. Learn more about converters.
Occurrence If the field is unique for your document, select 'One'. If it appears more than once (e.g. you want to capture 'Date' and there are several dates within the document), go with the 'Many'.
Mandatory Select ‘No’ if capturing your new field is not necessary for every document to have an Accepted status. Go with ‘Yes’ in case you wish to see the Needs review status every time your field won't be captured from your documents automatically.
Confidence level A value of 0.9 means that when our platform captures your field with a confidence less than 0.9, your file will get the Needs review status. You can enter the confidence value between 0 and 1.
The first step is to select the type of data you want to capture - text or table.
Next, describe the field you want to capture from the document, e.g., Date, Name, or Total amount. We will use this label to automatically pull the described data from your files.
Decide whether you want Alphamoon to capture data automatically. Select 'Yes' to automatically capture this field from your documents. If you choose 'No', the model will not pull this field automatically. However, you can train the model to capture this information from your documents. Turn on continual learning in the configuration and mark this field correctly in several documents that you upload.
Now you can either hit the Create new field button on top of the panel or go through the Optional settings (described above).
In the case of templates (e.g. Purchase orders, Driving licenses, Utility bills), you can add your Custom data points to the ready-made field selection.
In the templates, there is only one type of data - text.
Define data point name - describe the field you want to capture from the document, e.g., Date, Name, or Total amount. We will use this label to automatically pull the described data from your files.
Now you can either hit the Create new field button on top of the panel or go through the Optional settings (described above).
After you create the Custom process, we will automatically redirect you to the Data point definition. Learn more about creating a custom process.
In the custom process, there is only one type of data - text.
Define data point name - describe the field you want to capture from the document, e.g., Date, Name, or Total amount. We will use this label to automatically pull the described data from your files.
Now you can either hit the Create new field button on top of the panel or go through the Optional settings (described above).
Changes to Settings Bear in mind that changes to the data points settings will only apply to files sent from the moment these changes are made.
