AI Builder form processing multiple Pages

[Jose1965]

I'm considering using AI Builder forms processing to process invoice/automation and insert the data into sql server.

I've created a model which the layout can contain several pages (with table which can be split/break by the different pages).

On that model I tagged two tables but then i have a problem on the flow to load into sql server because is loading twice the data from the table on the first page and dont load the data from the second page.

Is there a way to tag the only one table even it had a page break?

Thanks

Hi @Jose1965, 

Thanks for posting the question. 

When training your form processing model, today you will need to tag tables in different pages as different tables. So if your documents can have a table that goes beyond the first page, then you will need to define two tables and tag one table in the first page and the second table in the second page. 

Then in your flow iterate through the different tables you have defined to save in your SQL table. 

Today it's not possible to tag a single table and indicate that it goes beyond one page. 

Hope this helps. Let us know if we can further help.

I'm building a form processing of pdf using AI builder. This builder works perfectly for 1st page of pdf. I created two tables of same format for each page (table 1:page 1 and table 2:page 2). When i test the scenario before publishing model, it only gives table1 for page 1.I want to extract theconents of table and write to a csv file.

Hi, 

This method does not work beyond 2 pages, I have different tables in different pages with same layout. I did the same method define different tables for different pages but it only works for first two pages.

Hi @Seharkantrooo 

We've now released a definitive version of the multipage tables feature which allows you to continue tagging a table across multiple pages: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ai-builder/create-form-processing-model#multipage-tables 

Have you tried using this functionality to solve your use case?

Thanks

Hi gbego, I've used this functionality but it seems to cause some issues. I've uploaded a lot of examples and tagged them with tables over multiple pages, within the collection after tagging and previewing the table it looks like the data is picking up perfectly. 

When I train the model and do a quick test, just using one of the documents that I have in the collection it doesn't return the correct details that were showing in the Preview table when training it. See attached word document with screenshots showing the issue. Any advice how to rectify this?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

If you use "table continuous on next page" feature it works but if you want to save the table into sharepoint list, at that point first table data prints in sharepoint list followed by then second table data. 

Which looks awkward for the users who views the list.

Example(Consider this as sharepoint list after saving the data into it):

Title      Location       Address         Name        Salary     Manager

Test1       LOC1       1-2, street     Test Name

                                                                         40,000     Rohit

KIndly help me in this scenario
