Extraction sequence
When extraction is performed for a project, a classified document is extracted with the corresponding class definition and the following sequence occurs:
-
All locators for that class are executed. The locator results are written to the XDoc.
If the class is a child class and the inherited locator relationship is interrupted then the overridden or copied locator is executed instead.
At this time, no check is made to see if a field is populated by a locator method. This is because the field may be populated by a locator method deeper in the class hierarchy or it is used by scripting.
-
Field results are populated based on the assigned locator and the XDoc results.
At this time, any field settings such as confidence and formatting are applied.
This is repeated for documents classified to other classes.
