Unstructured document processing uses AI models to automate classification of files and extraction of information. It works best with unstructured documents, like letters or contracts. The documents should have text that can be identified based on phrases or patterns. The identified text can designate both the type of file it is (its classification) and what you'd like to extract (its extractors).
Unstructured document processing models are created in type of SharePoint site called a content center. When applied to a SharePoint document library, the model is associated with a content type which has columns to store the information extracted.
When files are added to libraries with document processing models and they fit the classification, the information is automatically extracted and written to columns in the library.
