Extensions

The Rossum Extensions Environment effectively automates workflows and can provide new capabilities using pre-built or custom solutions.

For example, you can cross-check sums, pair extracted data against your database, or modify export data to meet the requirements of your external ERP system.

Instant learning

A basic learning feature that enables Rossum to learn quickly based on customers’ previous annotations. It recognizes the document’s confirmed layout and then applies predictions based on this information to other documents with the same format.

Queue

It is a unique space where users can import documents that need to be processed.

Each queue has an extraction schema, which you can modify depending on the requirements.

Within a queue, users have the option to configure custom automation settings. You can also add extensions to improve document workflows when linking up with other systems.

To learn more about how to create a queue, you can visit this article from our Help Center.

Extraction schema

It defines which data should be extracted from incoming documents.

Go to Queue settings and select the “Fields to capture” tab to access the Extraction schema.
You can customize the labels, IDs for integration and export, data type, score threshold, visibility, and RIR field name for each field.

If you want to learn how to set up the Extraction schema in Rossum, check out our guide.

Document editing screen

The Document editing screen allows you to effectively edit documents. You can change page orientation, delete pages, and split single documents into multiple new documents.

To access it, click the Edit button on the right side of the document review page.

See this article for more information on document splitting options.

Data field

It is a single piece of information captured from a document.

You can modify a data field’s label, ID, and more for every queue. You can also hide them to speed up the validation process if preferred. 

For a more in-depth look at extracted field types, you can visit this link from our API documentation.

AI engine

Rossum’s unique AI engines incorporate neural networks to identify and extract document data. The two main types are the Generic AI Engine and the Dedicated AI Engine. Users can use either engine to achieve the desired results based on individual needs.

To find out which AI Engine you need, learn more about their differences here.

Annotation process

A process that involves collecting documents and highlighting the data required for extraction in a consistent and precise manner.

It is vital to have high-quality annotations to ensure that the AI engine learns what data is needed and successfully captures it.

You can learn more about annotations by reading our Annotation Guide.

Dedicated AI engine

It is a custom engine trained to recognize customer-provided data and is tailored to the customer’s specific data capture needs. Dedicated Engine helps process documents with diverse layouts. It can also extract custom data fields and increase levels of data capture accuracy over time.

It is a paid feature.

You can refer to this guide from our Help Center for a more in-depth look at how Dedicated AI Engine training works.

To learn about more terms, visit our glossary.

Custom data field

It allows the user to extract fields that the Generic AI Engine does not automatically capture.

You must adjust the queue schema if you want to add a Custom data field. Used alongside the Dedicated Engine, they enable the effective processing of documents with custom layouts and fields.

Read our guide to learn more about adding Custom data fields.

Generic AI engine

It is a pre-trained AI engine that recognizes a variety of datasets for several different use cases.

Currently available Generic Engines include:

Bounding box

It is a blue rectangle that defines the position of captured data on the document’s validation screen. You can always edit or re-adjust it to ensure that the annotations are successful.

Magic Grid

The Magic Grid feature allows you to quickly and efficiently capture tabular data. With just a few clicks, you can quickly extract dozens or hundreds of items.

For more information about Magic Grid and how it works, see this user guide in our Help Center.

Schema editor

It is a section of Rossum where you can modify the extraction schema. You can specify which data fields should be captured in a specific queue. Custom fields and sections can also be added to allow the user to extract all required data.

Tab
It is a part of the main user interface. In Rossum, multiple tabs are available that relate to the status of a document for a given queue.
That includes To review, Postponed, Exported, Rejected, Confirmed, and Deleted tabs. Furthermore, the Emails tab allows you to track all documents imported to Rossum’s email inbox.
