Review Your Parsed Data With the Explore Data Tab

The Explore Data feature gives you a powerful way to browse, search, filter, and analyze the data extracted by Parseur — all from a spreadsheet-like interface.

Explore Data is currently in beta and is not yet available to all users. The feature may contain bugs or incomplete functionality. We welcome feedback! Use the Leave feedback button within Explore Data to help us improve the experience.

Accessing Explore Data

Once your documents have been processed, you can open Explore Data from the left the left navigation menu in each mailbox:

Explore Data displays your parsed data in a tabular format, making it easier to review large volumes of extracted information:

Viewing Nested Data

If your mailbox contains nested table fields (for example, line items, transactions, products, or invoice rows), you'll see an expand arrow next to each record.

Click the arrow to reveal the nested table directly beneath the parent row:


Simple Mode

Simple Mode provides the most common data exploration tools while keeping the interface easy to use.

Reorder Columns

You can customize the column layout by:

  • Dragging and dropping column headers directly in the table, or

  • Using the Columns panel on the right side of the screen.

Your preferred layout helps you focus on the fields that matter most.

Search Across Data

Use the search box at the top of the page to quickly find records matching your search terms.

Search scans the available columns and updates results instantly:

Filter Data

Explore Data automatically recognizes field types such as:

  • Text

  • Numbers

  • Dates

This allows it to provide more intelligent filtering options.

Examples include:

  • Equals

  • Does not equal

  • Contains

  • Greater than

  • Less than

  • Before date

  • After date

  • Between values

This makes it easy to locate specific records without exporting your data:

Each filtering option offers an AND / OR operator so you can filter with multiple elements.

Column Context Menu

Right-click a column header to access additional actions:

Available options include:

  • Sort Ascending

  • Sort Descending

  • Pin Column

    • No Pin

    • Pin Left

    • Pin Right

  • Autosize This Column

  • Autosize All Columns

  • Group by Column

  • Choose Columns

  • Reset Columns

Available actions may vary depending on the column type.

Show or Hide Columns

You can choose which columns are visible by:

  • Right-clicking on a Column header and clicking Choose Columns

  • Opening the Columns panel on the right-hand side.

This is particularly useful when working with mailboxes that contain many extracted fields.

Inline Tables vs Flattened Tables

Explore Data supports two ways of viewing nested table data:

Inline Tables

Nested records remain attached to their parent document.

For example:

  • Bank statement → Transactions

  • Invoice → Line items

  • Purchase order → Products

This preserves the original document structure.

Flattened Tables

Nested rows can also be displayed as individual records.

This is useful when:

  • Exporting transaction-level data

  • Performing analysis across all line items

  • Filtering and grouping nested records

Export Data

Data displayed in Explore Data can be exported directly using the Export button.

Exports respect your current view configuration, making it easy to share or further analyze your results:


Advanced Mode

Advanced Mode includes everything available in Simple Mode, plus additional data analysis capabilities:

Group By

Group records by one or more columns to quickly summarize your data.

Common examples include:

  • Group by customer

  • Group by vendor

  • Group by account type

  • Group by document status

This makes large datasets easier to review and understand.

You can do this by dragging columns from the Columns panel and dropping them in the Row Groups box:

Search Within a Specific Column

Instead of searching across all fields, you can search within a single column.

This is useful when looking for values in a specific field such as:

  • Invoice numbers

  • Customer names

  • Account numbers

Filter Panel

Advanced Mode provides a dedicated filter pane where you can:

  • Build multiple filter conditions

  • Combine filters

  • Refine large datasets

  • Save time when performing complex searches


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit data in Explore Data?

Not currently - explore Data is read-only at this stage. You can review, search, filter, and export your extracted data, but you cannot modify it directly from the interface.

If editable data functionality is important for your workflow, please contact us so we can better understand your requirements.

What does "(value)" mean in a subfield name?

You may occasionally see a subfield called (value).

This appears when a field contains mixed data formats.

For example:

Some records may contain an Address object:

{   "street": "123 Main St",   "city": "Chicago" }

While other records may contain only plain text:

123 Main St, Chicago

To keep both formats accessible, Parseur stores plain text entries in a subfield named (value).

Are there any limitations?

Yes. Because Explore Data is still in beta, there are currently a few limitations.

Mailbox Size Limit

Explore Data currently supports mailboxes with fewer than approximately 500,000 documents.

Large Field Performance

In some cases, mailboxes with fewer than 500,000 documents may still experience loading issues if they contain:

  • A very large number of fields

  • Extremely large fields

  • Metadata fields such as:

    • TextContent

    • HtmlContent

We are actively improving performance and scalability. If you encounter loading issues, please contact our support team so we can investigate and help.
