Add fields

This guide shows you how to add new fields for your model to capture.

What are fields
In Nanonets OCR, fields refer to specific elements or pieces of information that you want to extract from the documents. Each field corresponds to a particular data point within the document.
For example, in an invoice document, common fields to extract could be:
Invoice Number, Date, Total Amount, Vendor Name, Billing Address
Line Items (with fields such as Item Name, Quantity, Unit Price, etc.)
By defining these fields, you can train the Nanonets OCR model to locate and extract the relevant information from each document accurately. The extracted fields can then be used for further processing, analysis, or integration with other systems or applications.
