Intelligent Form Extractor

What is Intelligent Form Extractor

Important:

The Intelligent Form Extracor activity is deprecated. Please use the Form Extractor activity instead, which now contains all the Intelligent Form Extractor features.

The Intelligent Form Extractor is a specialized tool for processing fixed-layout documents for data extraction. You can use it to processing all types of forms that are printed or handwritten. You can also use it to check whether the form is signed or not.

This extractor does not have learning (training) capabilities and requires up-front configuration.

How to configure

Activity configuration

The Intelligent Form Extractor has two major configurations to be considered:

  • the Template Manager wizard - that allows you to define templates to be applied to incoming documents. This wizard enables the Template Editor and the Boolean field interpretation settings.
  • the MinOverlapPercentage setting - that allows you to control how strict the value area matching should be. Accepts a value between 0 and 100, and it controls what words are accepted or rejected from being part of a given value, based on how well their location fits the area defined in the template.
