description Document Type objects represent a distinct type of document, like an invoice or contract. Document Types are created as children of a stacks Content Model or a collections_bookmark Content Category and are used to classify individual folder Batch Folders. Each Document Type in the hierarchy defines the Data Elements and Behaviors that apply to Batch Folders of that specific classification.

About

If a set contains Invoices, Checks, Receipts and Purchase Orders, there might be four Document Types, one for each kind of document. Classification, in Grooper, is the process of assigning Document Types to Batch Folders in a Batch.

Purposes of a Document Type

Document Types have four functions within Grooper:

• Classifying documents.
• Information storage and property configuration necessary for said classification.
  • For example, training weightings for classification methods such Lexical classification, along with both Positive and Negative Extractors.
• Setting up the Data Model for data extraction.
• Defining any Behavior settings.

Classification

This is the primary function of a Document Type. A Document Type is assigned to a a Batch Folder, then the document is classified based upon what Document Type was assigned to it. This can either be done manually, or automatically through the Batch Process.
