Classifying & Splitting a Document

Once your documents are uploaded, you may need to classify and split them for efficient processing.

1. Classifying Documents:

   • Document classification helps classify different type or category of a document to the relevant document type for accurate results.
   • You can either manually classify documents and upload them to the right document type or manually classify them again if uploaded to the wrong document type while reviewing the document.
   • Setup Auto Classification model, so you do not have to put in manual effort to classify them and upload to the right document type.

2. Splitting a Document:

   • Document splitting is useful when a single document contains multiple sections or entities that you want to process separately or only a part of document is relevant for extraction everything else is of no use.
   • Similar to classification you can setup an auto split rule based on your needs.
   • Or you can also, split them manually while reviewing the documents on the review screen and then classify them to the right document type or even delete the parts which are of no use.

Whether you're dealing with invoices, receipts, contracts, or any other type of document, Docsumo's versatile document ingestion capabilities make it easy to handle your document processing needs.
