Locator extraction types
Each locator or evaluator has an extraction type that defines the type of information it returns.
Locators have the following extraction types:
- Single
-
Locator methods with this extraction type return a single piece of data that is mapped to a single simple field. Examples include the Format Locator, the Relation Evaluator, and the Summary Locator.
- Group
-
Locators with this extraction type return multiple subfields, and the individual subfields are mapped to separate simple fields in the project hierarchy. These subfields may be predefined and fixed, or freely configurable. Examples include the Order Group Locator, Advanced Zone Locator, and the Trainable Evaluator.
- Table
-
Locators with this extraction type return a table that is mapped to a table field. Examples include the Table Locator, the Line Item Matching Locator, and the Themes Locator.
There are some locators and evaluators that can have a different extraction type based on its configuration.
For full list of locators and evaluators along with their extraction types, see Locator method types and Evaluator method types.
