If you need to add new fields when setting up an activity (for example, a new field to record an extraction result) use the Manage Fields command in the main menu. In the dialog box that opens, you can see the field structure with a description of all the fields (including hidden fields) extracted by the skill. Fields can be moved around in the structure using the following buttons: Move up, Move down, Move to group, and Delete.
Note: New fields that you add to the activity will be automatically enabled.
Field types available in the Manage Fields dialog box are the same as in Vantage:
  • Text field of one of four types: Text, Date, Amount of money, or Number
  • Table with columns represented as child text fields
Note: A Table field can only contain text columns and doesn’t support nesting. To extract a table that contains other types of data or a table with nested tables, use a Group field with multiple items instead.
  • Barcode
  • Checkmark
  • Checkmark Group
  • Image
  • Group

Field settings

The following settings are accessible directly from the Manage Fields dialog box:
  • If you create a service field for transferring data between activities, you can hide it from the Fields tab, from the data form in Vantage, and from manual review by enabling the Use in this activity property.
  • You can enable and disable multiple items for any field except Table, Checkmark Group, and their child fields. If you change the Allow Multiple Items setting for a field that is used in an Extraction rules activity, also adjust the field mapping in this activity accordingly.
To view and edit other settings, click the settings button next to a field. Some of the settings can only be edited in the data form on the Fields tab.

Field nesting

The maximum nesting depth is three levels, and no more than two elements in a branch can have multiple items. A table is essentially a group with text fields that can have multiple items, meaning that you can create the following structures:
Field structureFields that may have multiple items
Nested group structureOne of the following: Any two groups; The field and any one group
Nested table structureAny one group (the table acts as the second group with multiple items). Note: Enabling multiple items for a field inside a table is not supported.
