# [Parser Templates](#parser-templates)

Feedback

Parser templates are the **Document Processing Type** options shown when you create a parser. A template gives you a useful starting set of fields and extraction settings for a particular kind of document.

Feedback

This page explains what the template groups contain. For help deciding which one to select, see [Choosing a Document Type](/docs/guides/choosing-document-type).

## [Template groups](#template-groups)

Feedback

The exact list can grow over time. Search the setup screen for the document name you use in your business.

## [Custom document](#custom-document)

Feedback

Choose **Custom document** when:

Feedback

*   No specific template closely matches your documents
*   Your organization uses a unique document layout
*   You want to define the fields and tables from scratch

Feedback

Custom document is flexible, but you should describe the fields clearly and test several representative files.

## [What a template gives you](#what-a-template-gives-you)

Feedback

After you choose a template, DigiParser suggests fields and tables commonly found in that document type. For example:

Feedback

*   **Invoice** can start with vendor, invoice number, dates, totals, and line items.
*   **Bank statement** can start with account details and a transaction table.
*   **Resume** can start with contact details, work experience, education, and skills.

Feedback

These are starting points. In the next setup step, remove fields you do not need and add fields that matter to your workflow.
