DocAI Field

The DocAI field is a high-performance artificial intelligence component designed to automate data extraction from uploaded documents. By utilizing specialized parsers, DocAI identifies and captures key information from forms like tax documents and paystubs, significantly reducing manual data entry errors.

DocAI Field Properties

Note: Every field in SnapApp shares a set of universal properties, such as Display and Edit settings, that are configured during creation.

Basic Properties

The Basic Properties tab establishes the field’s core identity and its relationship to the parent object.

Property Description
Data Type Set to DocAI. This enables the AI-powered file processing engine.
Object The parent object this field belongs to.
Label The user-facing name, such as “Tax Form Upload” or “Identity Document.”
Column Name Prepopulated from the Label (e.g., tax_form).
Description Internal notes explaining which document type the AI is expected to process.

Data Type Properties

When the DocAI data type is selected, the following specific configurations become available to define the AI engine’s behavior:

  • File Input Type: Restricts allowed formats. Options include PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, or All File Types.
  • Classify and Validate: A Yes/No toggle to automatically identify the document type before extraction.
  • Classification Parser: When “Classify and Validate” is set to Yes, a new configuration field appears. Here, you must specify the Classification Parser ID used to identify and categorize the document before the primary extraction parser takes over.
  • Quality Validation: A Yes/No toggle to check file legibility and clarity before processing.
  • Filename Formula: Automatically names the uploaded file using record data via the Expression Builder.

Validation & Other Properties

  • What it does: It checks for specific recognized data types to ensure the extracted text is a valid “entity” rather than just random data.
