Overview

The Auto Key-Value (KV) set of plugins solve data drift, a common problem in document extraction where rules that once processed all data variations cannot adapt as new, unexpected data arrives. This solution addresses data drift by automatically deriving new rules from the validation corrections, so the new variants get processed in the future.

The Auto KV plugins work with the existing key-value extraction feature in Transact and are not intended as a replacement. The plugins help prevent additional work in the key-value extraction workflow by automatically creating new rules for new invoices from the Validation screen.

The set of plugins include the following:

Auto KV Export plugin: This plugin automatically generates KV extraction rules based on operator changes to monitored values during validation. This plugin is used with the Auto KV Extraction plugin.
Auto KV Extraction plugin: This plugin automatically generates key-value rules to extract data from a document based on values previously selected by operators on exported documents. This plugin is used with the Auto KV Export plugin.
