Enable table detection
Use the procedure in this topic to enable table detection. Table detection is available for configurable document types only.
By default, no tables are extracted on a configurable document. Once table detection is enabled, any tables found on a document are available. During production, all extracted tables are included in the extraction results.
Table detection is not a solution-wide setting. This means that if you want to detect tables on multiple document types, you must enable table detection for each fo those document types.
Before you enable table detection, verify the following steps are complete.
-
Add at least one configurable document type
-
Enable field extraction
- Select the Fields menu.
- Select a configurable document type.
-
Select
Enable Table Detection.
When table detection is enabled, the toolbar icon is in the pressed state and the tooltip is updated to Disable table detection. This means selecting the icon again disables table detection.
After extraction runs, any detected table and their extracted data is displayed on the Auto Detected Tables tab for the selected configurable document type.
- Optional. Repeat these steps for other configurable document types.
