    About this task

    Use the following steps to apply categories to document attachments and each of their pages.

    In this context, a document page is the individual page object of the digital document file, as displayed in the thumbnail panel of the workspace. A document file may contain multiple logical groupings of documents (like a PDF file with several invoices, each spanning several pages). Based on the contents, apply the categorization to the document file and the file pages.

    If the categories are already auto-filled with values, you can review them to ensure they are correct or adjust them as needed.

    Procedure

    1. In the Classify panel, review any auto-filled categories for each document to ensure they’re correct.
    2. Select a category for a document by selecting the Category field.
    3. Select an appropriate recommendation for the document using the recommendation list.
      • Begin typing in the Category field and select a recommendation from the list.

        The recommendation with the highest confidence score displays at the top of the list.

      • Select Mixed categories for a multi-page document that includes more than one document type.

        Otherwise, if you select a category for a multi-page document, that category is applied to all of the document's pages.

      • Select Blank Page for a blank page in a document.

      • Select No category found if you can’t find a correct match.

        The document will be marked as complete when you move to the next Category field.

    4. Select a recommendation for each page of a Mixed categories document.
      The page will be marked as complete when you move to the next page.
    5. Optional: If needed, flag the documents or pages for later attention by selecting Flag for follow-up in the options menu from the options icon ( Options icon.).
