IDP_system_admin.jpg

Prerequisites

In order to use this functionality as shipped, make sure that Google Cloud is set up.

Google Cloud set up for Appian AI customers

If you have opted in to being an Appian AI customer, contact your Appian technical contact administrator. The technical contact will have received the service account credentials, bucket names, and region information in the License Management site on Appian Community.

Your technical contact administrator is listed on the Accounts page on Community, under Administrators. Note that you must be registered with your company on Community to access this site.

Google Cloud set up for Non-Appian AI customers

If you have purchased Google Cloud separately, follow these steps to set up AutoML Natural Language and create your Google Service Account and key.

Tip:  AutoML Natural Language and Document AI can share Google service accounts (for authentication) and storage buckets (for prediction and extraction).

To set up Google Cloud AutoML Natural Language:

  1. Create or select project: As the Project Owner, log in to the Google Cloud console and select an existing project or create a new project.
  2. Enable billing: Ensure that billing is enabled for your project.
  3. Enable APIs: Enable the Cloud AutoML API, Google Cloud Storage JSON API, and Cloud Document AI API.
  4. Create storage buckets: Create Cloud Storage buckets that follow the bucket requirements to store the AutoML Natural Language files:
    • For us-central1:
      • Location type: Region
      • Location: us-central1
      • Storage class: Standard (sometimes displayed in the Cloud Storage browser as Regional)
    • For eu:
      • Location type: Multi-region
      • Location: eu
      • Storage class: Standard (sometimes displayed in the Cloud Storage browser as Multi-Regional)

Note:  You may choose to have two buckets: one for the training documents and one for the prediction documents. Or, you can use the same storage bucket for both. If you use two buckets, then they must be in the same regional location.

To create your Google Service Account and key:

  1. Create a Google Service Account in the Google Cloud Console with AutoML Admin and Storage Admin permissions
  2. Create the service account key and save the file as a JSON document.

Updating IDP specific constants

You will need update the constants to match your configuration from your Google Cloud set up.

Constants to update from Appian Designer are:

  1. AS_FS_IDP_CLOUD_REGION - value should be your Google Cloud region.
  2. AS_FS_IDP_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID - value should be your Google Cloud project ID.
  3. AS_FS_IDP_AUTOML_CLOUD_BUCKET - value should be your Google Cloud Auto ML bucket.
  4. AS_FS_IDP_STORAGE_CLOUD_BUCKET - value should be your Google Cloud storage bucket.

Updating the connected system (only EU storage buckets)

If your storage bucket is in the eu multi-region, you will need to update the compute region for two of the connected systems.

To update the connected systems:

  1. From Appian Designer, open the AS FS IDP Google Cloud AutoML connected system.
  2. Update the Compute Region to eu.
  3. Open the AS FS IDP Google Cloud Storage connected system.
  4. Update the Compute Region to one of the Europe regions. These region options start with europe-.

Document classification with IDP process overview

When a user uploads a document in Connected Onboarding, the system:

  1. Checks if IDP is turned on.
  2. Determines if the document uploaded matches an uploaded example document.
  3. Assigns matching example document type to the uploaded document and determines TYPE CONFIDENCE level.
  4. If a TYPE CONFIDENCE level is below the CONFIDENCE THRESHOLD, a document reconciliation task is assigned to a user.
    • Note: the CONFIDENCE THRESHOLD can be changed.

If IDP is not turned on, users will need to manually select DOCUMENT TYPE for an uploaded document.

Updating IDP Properties

There are several IDP properties users can update from the System Administration Center including:

  1. Status: Whether or not IDP is connected.
    • Note: When IDP is disconnected a user will not be able to add classification files for document types.
  2. Classification Confidence Threshold: The percentage of confidence that the data must meet when it is extracted from a document. If it doesn't meet this threshold, the value will not be automatically populated. During the reconciliation task, a user will need to provide the value.
    • Tip: As with the classification threshold, a higher confidence percentage will increase auto-extraction accuracy, but it will also increase the number of fields that need to be populated by the user.
    • Note: This will only show when IDP is connected.
  3. Documents for Retraining: The number of documents that will need to be classified before triggering the retraining of the AI classification machine learning model. This enables the AI classification model to improve over time. A lower number allows the model to learn more quickly, but also increases the Google Cloud Platform costs. This could cause you to hit your Appian AI or Google account limits more quickly.
    • Note: This will only show when IDP is connected.

update_idp.jpg

To update the IDP properties:

  1. From the System Administration Center, click Integrations.
  2. Select Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) on the left hand navigation pane.
  3. Click UPDATE PROPERTIES
  4. Update either Status, Classification Confidence Threshold:, or Documents for Retraining.
  5. Click SAVE PROPERTIES.

Once your IDP properties are set, be sure to add classification files in the Connected Onboarding Settings site. If no classification files are updated, a Document Reconciliation task will be assigned for a user to manually select the Document Type.
