Database Locator
The Database Locator matches the document with one or more records in a fuzzy database that are returned as alternatives.
If the data you want to use is in a relational database, you must import that data into a fuzzy database before you can use it in a database locator.
For example, use this locator to identify the sender of an invoice by using a supplier database. All that is required is enough recognition information to identify one or more possible records that are returned as alternatives.
The extraction type of a Database Locator is "group" which means this locator has multiple subfields. When the locator is first created no subfields are available so it is necessary to configure the locator by selecting a database. Subfields are created automatically for each column in the selected database and you cannot rename of the subfields. Once subfields are available you can click on individual field links or by click on the Create and Assign Fields button to create and assign all simple fields at once.
You can manage a Database Locator with the following topics.
-
Add an exclusion database
The settings for this locator do not apply to the exclusion database and in order for a search result to be excluded, the alternative must have at least an 80% confidence.
-
Set the group index for database fields
-
Set the importance of a database field
-
Ensure a database field does not replace a recognition value
-
Set the distance for a group of database fields
-
Add a database search mask
-
Delete a database search mask
To configure a Database Locator, add it to the Project Tree for the selected class. Open a document set that contains one or more documents for this class before modifying the locator properties. This locator can then be configured by opening its properties.
