Field types determine what kind of information is extracted from a document and how that information is stored or displayed in a use case.
The following field types are available to administrators when configuring fields for use cases.  
Note:  
Some field types convert the extracted value into a standard format. For more information, see [Data normalization](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/hss_9rDVCapOBRhL8Q~fnw "Data extracted from documents is converted into a standard format. This ensures that values appear consistently across all fields, making the data easier to group, analyze, and integrate with other applications.").
