Deeper Dive into Smart Fields: Precision, Flexibility, and Efficiency

Smart Fields stands out as a highly adaptive, no-code intelligent data extraction tool. Its true power lies in how effortlessly it bridges the gap between unstructured content and actionable metadata, minimizing manual configuration while maximizing utility across operations.

  • Effortless setup: Creating a Smart Field is as simple as describing the data you want to extract in plain language. There’s no need to design templates for every new document—the field adapts and learns, intelligently extracting values from invoices, contracts, onboarding packets, and more.
  • Multi-format, multi-value capture: Laserfiche Smart Fields can handle PDFs, emails, scanned images, tables, and even handwritten notes. Whether a document is structured or not, it reliably pulls out the relevant data.
  • Advanced extraction capabilities: Go beyond basic fields—capture line-item details (such as lists of products, prices, quantities), extract data from complex tables, or process entire forms in a single click. The tool supports bulk data entry, dramatically increasing throughput.
  • Reusable and scalable: Administrators set up Smart Fields once, then reapply prompts and extraction logic across different departments and workflows without duplication. Teams don’t need to maintain template libraries for every format.
  • Handwriting and multi-language support: Tackle digitized forms, international correspondence, and legacy scans with built-in handwriting recognition and language detection, ensuring inclusivity for global and diverse operations.
  • Workflow integration: Smart Fields links seamlessly to business process automation. It cooperates with Laserfiche workflow activities, enabling AI-powered prompt-based extraction and translation, bulleted analysis, and summary creation. Convert raw content into structured insights automatically routed to the right people.
  • Executive-level insights: Beyond extraction, Smart Fields can generate executive summaries, sentiment analyses, and even translate content. These functions accelerate reviews, support audits, and improve decision-making speed.
  • Security-first design: All capabilities are anchored in enterprise-grade security, leveraging granular access controls and encryption so sensitive business data stays secure.
