How to use Contract Extraction

How to use Contract Extraction in DataSnipper to automatically extract structured data from contracts of any layout using OCR, available with Advanced Document Extractions on the Accelerate or Elevate package.

Contract Extraction automatically extracts structured data from contracts regardless of layout. It recognizes fields like Effective Date, Execution Date, Title, and Jurisdictions using OCR, and creates cross-references back to the source document in your Excel workbook.
