By default, DigiParser uses AI to extract each field from your documents. You can turn off extraction for specific fields. When a field has AI extraction disabled, it won’t be extracted from the document and must be filled another way (e.g. manually or via Post Processing).

• You fill it yourself: You always type or paste the value (e.g. a client code you assign).
• Post Processing fills it: You use lookup tables, custom code, or other Post Processing to set the value based on other fields.
• The data isn’t in the document: The field exists for organization or export, but the source is elsewhere (e.g. from another system).
• Extraction is unreliable: The AI often gets it wrong for this field, and you prefer to enter or correct it yourself.

1. Go to Settings → Fields & Tables (or Fields & Tables in the parser sidebar).
2. Click the field you want to change to expand it.
3. Find Enable AI extraction.
4. Turn the switch off to disable extraction for that field.
5. Click Save Fields.

When Enable AI extraction is off:

• The field is not extracted from the document.
• The field can still appear in the data table and in exports; you (or Post Processing) must provide the value.
• You can edit the value manually in the document view or after export.

To start extracting the field again:

1. Open Fields & Tables and expand the field.
2. Turn Enable AI extraction on.
3. Click Save Fields.

New documents will then have the field extracted again. For existing documents, use Re-process document if you want them to match.

When a field has AI extraction disabled, you can use Post Processing to fill it automatically, for example:

• Lookup tables: Match another field (e.g. Vendor Name) to a lookup file and set this field (e.g. Vendor ID).
• Custom code: Use JavaScript to compute the value from other fields or rules.

See Post Processing for an overview.

• Use disabling when you sometimes want extraction and sometimes don’t. Use deleting only when you no longer need the field at all.
• If you disable extraction, add a short AI Description when you turn it back on—it can help the AI extract more accurately.

• Add/Edit Fields – Add fields and configure extraction.
• Post Processing → Lookup Tables – Fill fields from reference data.
• Post Processing → Custom Code – Use custom logic to set field values.
