The goal of this step is to teach Advanced Designer how to determine the class of a document. We need to upload a document set for training, assign reference classes to the uploaded documents, and train the classification activity.
1

Download the training documents

Download the documents that will be used in the skill and unzip the archive.
2

Open the Activity Editor

Double-click the Classify By Text and Image activity to open the Activity Editor.

Upload the documents

  1. Click the Upload button on the toolbar and select Upload Documents…
  2. Select the documents you downloaded earlier and click OK.
All documents are uploaded to the No Class list.

Create and assign classes

Create two classes — “DE” for German documents and “BE” for Belgian and Dutch documents — and assign them.
  1. Select all German documents in the list.
  2. Click Create Class in the toolbar.
  3. Enter the class name “DE” and click Create and Assign.
  4. Select the rest of the documents in the No Class list.
  5. Click Create Class again.
  6. Enter the class name “BE” and click Create and Assign.
There are many ways to upload documents and assign classes. If your documents are organized into subfolders by class, select the Upload Folder Like Classes… option in the Upload menu. Advanced Designer automatically creates a class for each subfolder and assigns it to all documents uploaded from that subfolder.
