Quick Actions in the Document List

While hovering over a document in the list, you can also access these key actions:

  • View Document

  • Add to Template

  • New Template

  • Re-process

  • Skip Document

  • View Logs

  • Debugger (only showing if you have templates)

Viewing Document Logs

Click the 🔎 Log button to access the document’s activity history.

The logs include events such as:

  • When the document was received and processed.

  • Data extracted and matching templates (if any).

  • Post-processing steps and outcomes.

  • Servers the parsed data was sent to, along with server responses.

  • Any reprocessing events.

Searching and Filtering Documents

From the document list, you can search for documents by:

  • Name or subject

  • Template name

  • Metadata information

  • Document content by selecting "also in content" from the dropdown list. This can be quite slow if you have a large mailbox.

Use filters to narrow your search:

  • Status filter: Select the document status from the dropdown.

  • Date filter: Choose a specific date or date range (Note: Dates are in UTC).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does deleting a document affect templates it is linked to?

No, deleting a document won’t delete the associated template. The template will remain active. However, if the deleted document was the last sample for an OCR template, you will need to add a new sample to continue editing the template.

How can I see the exact date and time a document was received and processed?

  • Option 1: Open the document, and you’ll find the received and processed dates at the top of the page.

  • Option 2: In the document list, enable the “Display Timestamps” toggle in the bottom-right corner of the table to see exact dates.

How can I view all documents matched by a template?

  • Go to the Templates section of your mailbox.

  • Find the relevant template and click the “X documents” link next to its name (X being the number of documents this template has matched).

  • You’ll be taken to a list showing all documents that matched the template.
