The Documents tab shows every document used to set up, train, and test a Document skill and its activities.Documentation Index

When the Documents tab loads, a notification appears: “N documents being copied…” When copying finishes, the message updates to “N documents copied” and shows how long the operation took. The same message also appears in the notifications panel. N counts every document being copied — including demo documents added on the Publish tab — so it can be larger than the total across all document sets.
Document sets
Documents are organized into sets. Each skill has an All Documents set, created by default, that contains every uploaded document. You can also create custom sets to use in individual activities or to test a skill. A custom set is always a subset of All Documents, and a single document can belong to multiple custom sets. When a new activity is created, it uses All Documents by default. Custom sets are useful when a skill needs different extraction rules for different document variants — see Classify By Text and Image activity.Create a custom document set
Test sets
You can create a document set used only for testing — for example, a balanced set of documents from one client. A test set isn’t linked to any activity.Create a test set
Add a new set
On the Documents tab, click the add button in the list of document sets. If the documents you want are already uploaded, select them and choose Create Set from Selection on the shortcut menu.
Upload and process documents
You can upload documents at any point by returning to the Documents tab. If the skill has a processing flow on the Activities tab, new uploads are processed automatically. Once processing completes, predicted labeling appears on the Fields tab, and reference labeling is generated from the predicted values. Uploads inside an activity editor also trigger processing. Auto-generated reference labeling is unconfirmed until you copy predicted labeling to reference using the corresponding option on the documents’ shortcut menu. Documents with unconfirmed labeling can’t be used for training and are excluded from test results. To confirm labeling, review it on the Fields tab.View options
- List View — shows documents as a list with the upload date, the sets each document belongs to, and labeling status (in the Reference Fields column). For more on labeling, see Fields.
- Thumbnail View — shows documents as thumbnails.
Toolbar commands
Use the toolbar to edit the active document set.| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Upload | Upload documents to the selected set. Each upload is also added to All Documents. You can also drag documents in from File Explorer. |
| Import Labeled Documents From Folder (in the Upload drop-down) | Upload labeled documents to All Documents. Source folders can be exported from a training set, from manually reviewed processing results, or from ABBYY FlexiCapture — see Importing labeled documents from a folder. |
| Divide Set | Split one set into two by ratio, producing separate training and testing collections. Each activity can then point at a specific set. |
| Add from Set | Add to the current set every document from another set that isn’t already in the current set. |
| Add to Set | Add the selected documents to a different set. Disabled when the skill has only one set. |
| Delete | Delete the selected documents from the current set, or from every set. From All Documents, deletion always applies to every set. |
| Rotate | Change the orientation of the selected pages: Rotate All Pages Left, Rotate All Pages Right, or Rotate All Pages 180°. |
