Set up document separation
Kofax TotalAgility can separate multi-page documents into single documents or group loose pages into multi-page documents. By default, this feature is disabled. To use document separation, you must configure a separation type.
When you enable document separation, Transformation Server performs document separation and classification before performing extraction. This is because a document needs to be correctly separated and classified before successful extraction. Separation also uses the same layout and content classifiers as classification.
For the best results, use document separation in a Kofax TotalAgility workflow that has two Transformation Server steps.
The first Transformation Server step performs classification and separation. Then Document Review runs so that any documents that were not classified or separated correctly can be fixed. The second Transformation Server step then processes extraction and validation on the correct document structure.
There are two types of document separation:
Trainable document separation is compatible with projects configured in earlier versions of Kofax TotalAgility. If you have a separation model that you created in Project Planner, you can import the model and use it in your project. However, trainable document separation is now configurable within the Transformation Designer.
To manage document separation in your project:
-
Configure trainable document separation or standard document separation
-
Train document separation
-
Test document separation
-
Perform separation benchmarks
-
Import an old Project Planner separation model
