Misc Parameters for Table Items

JilaniShaik — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:26:00 GMT

Hi Ben,

Please guide me the following Misc Parameters when to use it with one scenario for Table Items.
The parameters are
1)TopStop
2)BottomStop
3)BottomStopPhrase
4)BorderTable=On
And also for which header of the table I need to assign this parameters?
For example if I, have the Table headers as Product Description, Quantity, Unit Price, Tax Rate, Amount.

Regards
Jilani

Hi Jilani,

Great questions and is one of the topics I'm currently in the process of creating content for.

But since you asked, I won't make you wait!

Top Stop
I would use this where Decipher is reading a line above the first row of your table. Sometimes tables have an extra row or two between the headers and the table content. These could be sub-headers or quantifiers (e.g. £M).

To get Decipher to exclude these rows and stop at the top of your table, you can enter TopStop="SubHeading". Where SubHeading would be the text just above the top row. In this case it can only be a single word.

BottomStop and BottomStopPhrase
Similar to TopStop, but it might be that Decipher tries to read a row below the table, perhaps the Total has it's own row. So you could add BottomStop="Total".

Bottom Stop Phrase gives you the option of adding more than one word as the parameters e.g. BottomStopPhrase="Grand Total"

BorderTable=On
This can be used where you table always has a border around each cells to separate each row/field. Decipher will automatically segregate the data into the provided fields based on the table border.

The stop related phrases should go in the column closest to where the expect value appears, but the border table setting can go in any of them. You can add multiple Misc Parameters to a field, just hit return and add the next one.

Thanks

Hi Ben,

Not sure if you answered Jilani's question as to where to put the Misc Parameter; to which header field should we put the Misc Parameter?

I have a case wherein the last line item always contains the word "Disclaimer", which should not be included in the rows. Hence I'll be using BottomStop=Disclaimer. But I'm not sure where to put it.

Kind regards,

Dexter Antonio

Hi Dexter,

The BottomStop parameter will need to go in one of the table fields. I don't think it matter which, but I tend to put it in the column around where the value appears.

You won't be able to add it to a specific version, but adding it the main DFD shouldn't be a problem so long as "Disclaimer" doesn't appear midway through another table.

Thanks
