Result Filter

Embedded Object Grooper.Extract

Defines rules for filtering the result set produced by extraction operations.

Remarks

The Result Filter allows you to configure a set of criteria that each Data Instance must meet to be included in the final result set. Results that do not match the specified conditions are excluded, enabling precise control over which values are retained for downstream processing or export.

Configuration and Usage

  • Configure filter properties to target results by page, confidence, length, character composition, geometric region, font size, alignment, and more.
  • Multiple filter criteria can be combined; a result must satisfy all enabled filters to be included.
  • Use the 'Allowed Pages' property to restrict results to specific pages.
  • Set 'Minimum Confidence' to exclude low-confidence results.
  • Use 'Length Range' and 'Character Classes' to filter by value length and character makeup.
  • The 'Exclusions' property allows you to specify a Value Extractor whose results will be used to exclude overlapping matches.
  • Geometric filters (such as 'Region', 'Width Range', 'Height Range', and 'Font Size Range') allow you to target results by their position and size on the page.
  • Emphasis filters (such as 'Character Casing', 'Case Similarity', 'Minimum Font Scale', and 'Require Underline') help isolate results with specific visual or typographic emphasis.

Typical Scenarios

  • Restricting to a Region:
    Only include results that fall within a specific area of the page, such as a header or footer.
  • Filtering by Confidence:
    Exclude results below a certain confidence threshold to improve data quality.
  • Targeting Emphasized Text:
    Isolate headings, titles, or other elements with distinctive font size, casing, or underlining.
  • Excluding Unwanted Results:
    Use the 'Exclusions' property to remove results that overlap with known false positives or irrelevant content.
