Importing Schemas

Import a previously exported schema

Importing Schemas

You can import a previously exported schema (JSON file) to load field configurations into a parser. This is useful when you want to:

  • Restore a backup
  • Copy fields from one parser to another
  • Share configurations with teammates

Where to import

  1. Open your parser and go to Settings → Fields & Tables.
  2. Click Import Schema (top right, next to "Export Schema").
  3. Choose the JSON file from your computer.
  4. The schema is loaded and your fields are updated.

What happens when you import

  • Existing fields are replaced with the imported schema
  • All fields and tables from the imported file are added
  • You'll see a message asking if you want to re-process existing documents to match the new schema

Re-processing after import

After importing, you may want to re-process existing documents so they match the new field setup:

  1. If prompted, click Re-process documents (or go to each document and use More → Re-process document).
  2. This runs extraction again with the new schema.

Note: Re-processing uses credits (1 credit per page). Only re-process if you need existing documents to match the new schema.

Tips

  • Backup first: Export your current schema before importing a new one, in case you want to restore it
  • Test on a copy: If possible, test importing on a test parser first
  • Check field names: Make sure imported field names match what you expect
  • Re-process carefully: Only re-process documents if you need them to match the new schema

Troubleshooting

  • "Invalid file": Make sure you're importing a schema file exported from DigiParser (JSON format)
  • Fields missing: Check that the imported schema has all the fields you expect
  • Wrong parser: Make sure you're importing into the correct parser
