A derived skill inherits all the validation rules of its base skill. Inherited rules cannot be edited. However, you can copy inherited rules and modify the copies. The modified copies will be used instead of the original rules with the same names. You can turn off inherited rules that are not required for document processing or add new rules to validate extracted data.

​
Turn off a Validation Rule

To turn off a validation rule, follow these steps:
  1. In the Skill Designer, click the Skill Settings icon to the right of the skill name.
  2. In the Skill Settings dialog box, go to the Rules tab and turn off the rule you want. You can turn it back on at any time.

​
Create a New Rule

You can create a new rule in the same way as in a custom skill. For information on how to create a rule, see Rule Verification. Any rules you created in a derived skill will not be included in its base skill.

​
Remove a New Rule

To remove a new rule, follow these steps:
  1. On the Rules tab of the Skill Settings dialog box, select the rule you want to remove.
  2. Click the delete icon, and then click Save.
Until you save the settings, you can restore the rule by clicking Restore.
