Hi Krishna.

How many documents have you used to train Decipher? I have worked with multi-page invoices and Decipher was able to learn the table boundaries after going through a handful of the documents.

Hi Krishna.

Thirty docs should be enough. You could try using the misc param "BottomStop". I have not had to use it but see if it does the trick.

You'll find info on it here: Miscellaneous parameters (blueprism.com)

Thanks Jack,
looks this BottomStop is to stop lower lines
Still I tried, result is that , it stopping to read the other lines from next page onwards.

Hi Krishna.

I thought that might be the result but I wanted you to give it a try nonetheless.

The only thing I can think of is to keep pushing more representative documents through Decipher for training. I've had the same experience you have had but I was able to train Decipher to ignore them.

When you run your next doc, if the table is incorrectly mapped, delete the table and remap it yourself, taking care to only select the correct lines. It seems that deleting the table when it gets misread by Decipher helps in training.

Hi Krishna,

There's an option similar to BottomStop, but instead it skips any text area where it finds a specific word.

RowAreaExcludeValues

You can use this to say RowAreaExcludeValues=Tel in the Misc Params fields of the column where this might appear.

Note this can only be used for single words and not phrases.

Thanks
