RowDetectionMode

Controls how the column is used during the row detection process.

Remarks

The RowDetectionMode enumeration determines the role of a column in the row detection phase of the Tabular Layout extract method. It allows you to specify whether a column is required, optional, or excluded from the process that identifies table rows.

Configuration Guidance

• Use 'Required' for columns that must have a value for a row to be detected (e.g., a key identifier or always-present field).
• Use 'Optional' for columns that may be empty or missing in some rows, but should still participate in row detection if present.
• Use 'Disabled' to exclude columns from row detection, treating them as secondary columns to be extracted after row boundaries are established.

Proper configuration of this setting is essential for accurate row segmentation, especially in tables with merged cells, optional columns, or irregular layouts.

Can be one of the following values:
