Capture – Map & Export

Mapping and export is a new function added to Capture. This feature allows you to create mapping formats and rules for entity sets that have already been extracted or uploaded new documents.

To begin, navigate to the Mapping page within Capture.

Mapping Formats

  1. Mapping format name
  2. The identifier column is used to identify what data will be mapped into that row
  3. Map data into specific columns
  4. Create a new mapping format
  5. Clone or delete the mapping format
  6. Submit once the identifier column and additional columns are identified

Mapping Sets

Choose the mapping format we just created.
A preview will be shown without any data. Click Submit.

Mapping Rules

Choose whether the rule will be for data that has already been captured or for data that will be uploaded to the mapping set.

Rules for Captured Data

  1. Name the rule
  2. Choose whether the data type is a LABEL or a FILE type. FILE type is used when there is relevant info in the file name, such as date, company name, etc. Usually combine FILE type with a Conversion
  3. Choose whether the data type is a key or a value. NOTE: most key-value models can detect the labels by itself. This is more so for multi-label extraction and not key-value models
  4. Choose whether a conversion is needed on the extracted data i.e. date, time, etc
  5. Choose which column the data is exported to. Use the check box to hide the data in the mapping result for the identifier
  6. Choose whether to map for specific text phrases. Rules with text filters only work when the value for the label or the column matches the filter text. Use the check box to hide the filtered out row. For example the mapping result above will only include rows with the ‘Test Identifier 1’ column value ‘Gas’ or ‘Heat’ etc
  7. Submit changes when done

Rules for Uploaded Data

  1. Name the rule
  2. Identify the row number from the uploaded file that contains the column headings
  3. Choose whether the data type is a COLUMN or a FILE type. FILE type is used when there is relevant info in the file name, such as date, company name, etc. Usually combine FILE type with a Conversion
  4. Identify the original data to be mapped. In this example, the identifier column to be exported is originally called id_column
  5. Choose whether a conversion is needed on the extracted data i.e. date, time, etc
  6. Choose which column the data is exported to. Use the check box to hide the data in the mapping result for the identifier
  7. Choose whether to map for specific text phrases. Rules with text filters only work when the value for the label or the column matches the filter text. Use the check box to hide the filtered out row. For example the mapping result above will only include rows with the ‘Col 1’ column value ‘Gas’ or ‘Heat’
  8. Submit changes when done

Mapping Data

  1. Filter by data types, mapping rules, and/or filenames
  2. Select mapping data
  3. Preview selected mapping data
  4. Export selected mapping data to CSV or XLSX files
  5. Add data from entity sets
  6. Upload data from CSV or XLSX files
  7. Edit mapping rule for the selected data
  8. Delete the mapping data

Add Captured Data

Select the desired entity set and click Submit
Select the desired files from the entity set. Apply the mapping rules to the files. Included is a button to apply the same rule for all of the selected files. Click Submit once finished.
We can now see the added files in the mapping set.

Upload Data

Upload either XLSX or CSV files to the mapping set. Apply the mapping rules to the files. Included is a button to apply the same rule for all of the uploaded files. Click Upload once finished.
We can now see the uploaded file in the mapping set.

Preview for Mapping Result

Once the desired mapping data sets are selected, a preview of the result can be shown up to the first 100 lines. The data can be exported to CSV or XLSX files.
