Edit a derived skill
Vantage built-in skills and read-only skills published by third-party developers cannot be edited directly. Instead, create a derived skill from the base skill and edit the derived skill. Derived skills inherit all rules and fields from their base skill and can be updated to new versions of the base while preserving your changes. Once the derived skill exists, edit it using the same procedure as Edit a custom skill below.Edit a custom skill
If a custom skill’s extraction quality isn’t good enough, add or reconfigure activities — for example, an Extraction Rules activity to fine-tune specific fields, or an Address Parsing activity to break down a full address extracted by the existing flow.
Open the skill from the Skill Catalog
On the start page, select the skill in the Skill Catalog. The document set appears on the Documents tab — add more images if needed. The field structure and labeling appear on the Fields tab.
Review the existing flow
On the Activities tab, find the existing Fast Learning activity, which uses Vantage machine learning to extract fields.
Add an Extraction Rules activity
Add an Extraction Rules activity to set up custom object search conditions. To target only specific fields, list them under the Activities tab of the Properties pane on the new activity.
Configure the rules
Click Activity Editor. Use sample documents to set up the extraction rules so that every targeted element is detected correctly.
Test and publish
Close the Activity Editor and click Test Skill Using Selected Documents to evaluate the results. When the results are good enough, publish the skill.
