Fill Method is a configurable property for data_table Data Models, insert_page_break Data Sections, and table Data Tables (aka "container elements" or "containers"). Fill Methods provide various mechanisms for populating these containers' child Data Elements. Fill Methods are secondary extraction operations. They populate descendant Data Elements after normal extraction during the Extract step.

At this time there is are two (2) Fill Methods:

  • AI Extract - This Fill Method populates a Data Model using a large language model (LLM). This fill method leverages AI to enable large scale data extraction with minimal setup.
  • Fill Descendants - This Fill Method executes any Fill Methods on child Data Elements in parallel. This has been shown to dramatically increase efficiency on larger Data Models with multiple Data Sections using AI Extract.
