Document Classification
ProcessingDocument classification is assigning documents to categories or types—for example, invoice, contract, receipt, or form. In DocLD, classification can drive which schema or prebuilt schema is used for extraction and how documents are routed in workflows.
Use Cases
- Schema selection — Route documents to the right extraction schema based on type.
- Workflows — Use triggers or steps that branch on document type.
- Organization — Tag or filter by type in the dashboard and API.
Classification can be rule-based (e.g., filename, metadata) or model-based. DocLD’s suggested-schema and prebuilt schemas help match document types to extraction configs.
