Creating Workflows

This section explains the standard workflow creation flow. You can create workflows:

• From scratch
• From document templates

---

​

Creating a workflow from scratch

The easiest way to start is from the home. On the home screen, you’ll find a text box similar to a chat interface. Here, you can:

• Describe the type of document you want to parse
• Explain what you want to extract
• Upload documents

You can upload documents by:

• Dragging and dropping
• Clicking Add document

Once ready, send the prompt to start the creation process.

​

The workflow lifecycle

Every workflow goes through three steps: You always move in this order.

---

​

Step 1: Define

This is where you define what data you want.

​

The workspace layout

During definition, the screen is split into two areas:

---

​

AI suggestions

Suggestions are generated based on:

• The prompt
• The document
• Or both

You can:

• Add suggested fields
• Edit them later
• Ignore them completely

Suggestions are optional helpers.

---

​

Adding fields manually

To add a field:

1. Click New field
2. Choose:
   • Field name
   • Field type (see Field types)
   • Instructions (or let AI generate them from the name)

You can also:

• Duplicate fields
• Delete fields (from the three-dot menu on the field card)

---

​

Special field types

For some field types:

• Select / Multiselect - define option names and descriptions
• Object (Subtable) - define subfields

When editing a field:

• Click the field
• View its properties in the card preview
• See options or subfields directly

---

​

Before moving on

Before continuing:

• Make sure all fields are saved
• You can edit fields later, but saving now avoids issues

---

​

Step 2: Refine

This step is about checking and improving extraction quality.

​

Running the extraction

• Extraction runs automatically
• It may take a few moments to complete

---

​

Reviewing results

You can review results using:

• The document view
• The Markdown representation

Markdown helps verify that parsing worked correctly.

---

​

Visual grounding

Each extracted field:

• Has a number and color
• Is linked to its location in the document

This helps you understand where values came from.

---

​

Validating fields

You can:

• Validate fields one by one (thumbs up)
• Validate all fields at once

If a field is incorrect:

• Mark it as incorrect (thumbs down)
• Correct the value
• anyformat improves the prompt automatically

You can repeat this process until results are correct.

---

​

Step 3: Publish

Once all fields are validated:

• You can publish the workflow

After publishing:

• Upload additional documents
• Apply the workflow at scale
• Start generating data

---

​

After publishing

Published workflows:

• Appear in the home
• Appear in the Workflows section
• Can be reused and run multiple times
