Extractor Property Editor

Editor for Value Extractor properties, providing an interactive interface for configuring, testing, and validating extraction logic.

Remarks

The Extractor Property Editor control enables users to configure and test Value Extractors when configuring objects. Value Extractors define how data is located and extracted from document text, supporting regular expressions, list matching, OMR, barcode, and other extraction methods. This editor is designed for both simple and advanced extraction scenarios, providing real-time feedback, diagnostics, and integration with document samples.

UI Components

• Extractor Builder:
  • Central workspace for designing and testing extractor logic.
  • Integrates a property grid for editing extractor properties, such as pattern, options, and output mapping.
  • Includes a test source panel for selecting sample documents or data instances to validate extraction.
  • Displays extraction results in a result list, supporting selection, sorting, and review.
  • Provides a document viewer for visualizing extraction results in context.
  • Action buttons for testing, diagnostics, auto-test, launching the Data Inspector, and more.

Interactive Features

• Extractor Configuration:
  • Edit extractor properties to control how values are located and extracted.
  • Configure regular expression patterns, list values, OMR settings, and advanced options.
• Real-Time Testing:
  • Test extraction logic against sample documents or data instances.
  • View extraction results immediately as properties are changed.
  • Use diagnostics and result lists to validate and refine configuration.
• Keyboard Navigation:
  • Tab: Move between input fields and controls.
  • Enter: Commit changes or activate selected controls.
  • Ctrl + T: Run extraction test.
  • Ctrl + D: View diagnostics.
• Mouse Operations:
  • Click to edit properties, select test sources, and review results.
  • Drag-and-drop support for document viewer overlays (if applicable).

Usage Guidance

Use the Extractor Property Editor to configure how data is extracted for a field, section, or table. Test extraction logic using sample documents, review results in the result list and document viewer, and refine settings for optimal accuracy.

• For regular expression extractors, configure the pattern and options for robust matching.
• For list or barcode extractors, set up value lists and mapping options.
• Use diagnostics and result lists to troubleshoot and validate extraction behavior.

Accessibility

• Fully navigable by keyboard and mouse.
• Screen reader support for property grid, result list, and document viewer.
• Visual cues for selection, focus, and error feedback.
