Manage content classification

Content classification uses the text recognition results of a document to determine the classification result.

By default, content classification is enabled for all solutions.

Content classification is ideal for documents that have no consistent layout. For example, free form letters and financial, legal, and healthcare documents.

The types of classification available for a solution is relevant for all document types. If you have at least one document type that is content-based, then content classification is required.

Enable content classification

Use this procedure to enable content classification.

Procedure
  1. Select the Settings menu on the ribbon.
  2. Select Processing.
  3. In the Classification > Content Classification group, configure the following settings.

    Setting

    Description

    Enabled

    Set to Yes to use content classification to classify content-based documents. (Default: Yes)

    Content classification requires 10 to 20 training documents.

    Scope

    Available only when Enabled is set to Yes.

    Specify how content classification is determined. Choose from the following values:

    Classify first page only:

    Select to use the first page of a document only for content classification. If the first page cannot be classified the document remains unclassified. (Default)

    Classify each page:

    Select to process each page in sequence, of a multi-page document for content classification. Classification ends when a page is classified. If no pages are classified the document remains unclassified.

    Classify all pages at once:

    Select to merge the test of all pages so it is processed by the content classifier at once.

    Minimum confidence (%)

    The minimum threshold for a content classification result to be considered confident. (Default: 50)

  4. Optional. Save your solution.
Next steps

Disable content classification

If your solution has no content-based documents, disable content classification to skip that step in the classification process. Instead, you can use layout classification, generative AI classification, or both.

  1. Select the Settings menu on the ribbon.
  2. Select Processing.
  3. In the Classification > Content Classification group, set Enabled to No.
  4. Thoroughly test your classification results to ensure that disabling content classification does not cause unexpected classification problems.
