Constant Tools

this tool does not extract values from the document, but instead allows you to associate a predefined value, generally one that wouldn’t otherwise be stated, with a record this helps you better understand the context of your extracted values and if applicable, helps you better align output from a smart pattern with your database or other end system a good example of the possibilities presented by constant tools is in defining which section a set of extracted entities belongs to we will use the following example for this tool to create a constant tool under pattern studio, click on “kits” create a kit give your kit a name and associate it with a schema for this example, i have made two kits for the two different constant tools that will be associated with both cash flow and income once the desired kits are made, navigate to the tools section within this section, select the schema field that you would like to associate the string(s) with and click add tool once clicked, a pop up will appear to give you access to the different tools that is at your disposal after selecting the constant tool, you will be shown a text box where you will be entering your string(s) that you would like to associate with the appriopriate records remember whatever you enter in constant tool is whatever will be placed in the field in the case of subschemas, this value will repeat for every value the kit produces for this example, i will be entering "cash flow" into the text box that i have selected for my cash flow kit, and "income" for my income kit after entering in the desired string(s), click on save tool, and your tool is now ready to use!
