Configure the Custom Fields

There are several predefined format locators that you can use for customization. The first five locators, FL_Custom1 through FL_Custom5, extract alternatives for the field value. These fields are configured via the Settings > IP Configuration > Global Settings > Custom Extraction Profiles > Analysis Profiles.

In addition, there are five locators for evaluation, FL_EvalCustom1 through FL_EvalCustom5, that extract alternatives for the field label. These locators are configured via the Settings > IP Configuration > Global Settings > Custom Extraction Profiles > Evaluation Profiles.

With these locators, the distance between the extracted field values and their labels are analyzed. The various alternatives are weighed and the best alternative is assigned to the field.

Note Do not edit these format locators in Transformation Designer. Doing so means that you cannot upgrade to a newer version in the future. Instead, use the Settings > IP Configuration menu for all configuration of these fields.

In order to configure one or more custom fields, the following information is needed.

  • Activate one or more of the custom fields in the Settings > IP Configuration > Capture Profiles > Field Settings.

  • Enter a label string into the Settings > IP Configuration > Global settings > Custom Extraction Profiles > > Evaluation Profiles.

  • Enter a format string into the Settings > IP Configuration > Global settings > Custom Extraction Profiles > > Analysis Profiles.
