DOC Reader

Articles

Doc Reader node is used to extract data from documents and store the data in Document Table.

Doc reader node has a built-in classifier and machine learning models for extracting fields from the documents.
You can design a Task using Doc Reader node to extract fields from the document. The Task is executed, and the extracted fields are populated into Document Table.

How does the Doc Reader Node Work?

When a document is passed through Doc Reader node, it automatically classifies and assigns a category name to the document. When the document is processed by Doc Reader node, it inserts a record in the Document Table selected in Properties tab. The Document Table is populated with the assigned category.

  • If a document was previously trained, in that category, the document is processed based on the past training and the status of the record changes to EXTRACTED_SUCCESSFULLY.
  • If the category was not previously trained for any document, the status is assigned as NEW_TYPE so that you can familiarize the document.
    • When the document is familiarized, verified, and approved, the status of the record changes to EXTRACTED_SUCCESSFULLY.
  • You can provide additional validation rules for the extracted fields using the Post-Processing task. If any of the validations fail, the status of the record is updated to MANUAL_INTERVENTION_VALIDATION_FAILED, to refamiliarize the document.
    • After the document is refamiliarized, the status of the record changes to EXTRACTED_SUCCESSFULLY.
  • If the document received is not in a proper format, and you do not want to familiarize the document, you can skip the training and status gets updated to MANUAL_INTERVENTION_FOR_REVIEW.
