Field groups and Monetary quantity support (Preview)

Field Groups and Monetary quantity support in Validation Station, Activities, and APIs are now available in Preview.

Field groups enable the display of hierarchical field structures in Validation Station, allowing logical organization of extracted data. Groups can be single-value, multi-value, or mixed, consisting of fields and tables. Field Groups preserve the hierarchical structure of extracted data, making large, multi-page document packets easier and faster to validate.

The new MonetaryQuantity field type introduces dedicated amount and currency data types, eliminating data type mismatches between extraction and validation.

This enhancement aligns the Document Understanding data type model with IXP Unstructured and Complex Documents.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the Validation Control in (Custom) Apps and (Custom) Action Apps triggered the On Ready component callback event too early, causing operations such as setting field values in the On Ready workflow to fail.
  • Fixed an issue where OpenAI licensing exceptions were incorrectly exposed.

Permissions for field access

Based on a role, you can assign permissions for field access.
  • The Fields.Create permission allows a user to create a field.
  • The Fields.Delete permission allows a user to delete an existing field.
  • The Fields.Read permission allows a user to view a field.
  • The Fields.Update permission allows a user to update an existing field.

Users with the Document Understanding Data Annotator role or the Document Understanding Viewer role only have the Fields.Read permission.

Users with the Document Understanding Developer, Document Understanding Model Trainer, or Document Understanding Project Administrator roles have all available field permissions.

Important: Existing custom roles that include document type permissions do not automatically include these new fields permissions. As a result, users assigned to these custom roles cannot create, edit, or delete fields. To enable these actions, you must update the applicable custom roles and explicitly add the required fields permissions.
For more information, check the Role-based access control page.

Tenant level Projects permission

A new Projects permission is available at the tenant level. Project creation is now controlled at the tenant level via the Projects.Create permission, while project-level permissions are limited to read, update, and delete actions based on role assignment.

Users with the Document Understanding Administrator role assigned can create projects using the new Projects.Create permission.

For more information, check the Role-based access control page.
