Selecting Basic Options

Click on Gear icon in the Tool Bar at the far right of your screen and you can select from these basic choices:

  • Re-run AI, Commit Version starting the AI prediction process over from the beginning. This will eliminate any changes you have made unless you have saved that version of the document.
  • Delete Configuration to eliminate the current configuration profile entirely, meaning that it will have no defined sections or fields.
  • Show/Hide Unused Fields to either show or hide fields that are not being used.

Requesting Changes

When you discover that your configuration profile requires a task that you are not able to perform, you can enter a Change Request that your Conexiom team will perform for you.

  1. Click the Request Change icon. A dialog displays.
  2. To choose whether to create a Text request or an Email request, click Launch under the choice you want. The corresponding communication screen displays.

Follow the instructions for the method you choose.


Other Guidelines for Change Requests

  • When mentioning a cross-reference table, use the exact column heading as the reference; not the column number.
  • Use the word “Concatenate,” “Prefix,” or “Suffix” when you need the connection development team to merge or link two words or fields together into one value for the ERP system.
  • Use either the word “Extract” or “Remove” when you need to have characters scrubbed from the original data. These are often used to request the removal of special characters.
  • When a reference table is five items or fewer, it can be manually typed out into the map request. For any cross-reference tables that contains more than five rows, create a cross-reference table in the portal.
  • Provide examples in all requests, including the document number the example is taken from.
  • Describe the expected behavior from the change in all requests.
  • When reviewing example documents:
    • If the document is multiple pages be sure to review all pages.
    • If the customer provides more than one example, be sure to review all examples.
    • If you need to submit information in two different requests, make sure you indicate the requests are labelled “Part 1 of 2” and “Part 2 of 2” so that the Connection Development team works on them in the correct order.

Switching Documents

Click Back or Next to move through your documents, from the one you previously viewed to the next one, as ordered by the Documents table listing on the Documents page.

12 bubble

Add Section

Click +Add Section to add a new section to the document. (See Creating and Modifying Sections).

13 bubble

Open Section Tab Arrow

Click to open the tab to display all of the fields within that section. For example, click the Header tab to display listings of all of the fields within the header, including Document Date, Bill To Address, Ship To Address, and all others.

Document Preview & Corresponding Sections

When you navigate to the Configuration screen, Conexiom’s AI creates an initial map of the first document you selected. This map displays in different sections that are shaded in different colors.

Your screen defaults to a standard set of colors, but you can select new ones at any time. (See Changing Colors of a Selection).

Each section defines where to find different types of field information, which is the important data that needs to be processed. The sections determine the type of field information and whether it will be repeated. For example, a company’s name and address information in the Header section is displayed only once, but many rows of product information can be listed in the Line-Item section.

To the right of the main screen, a panel displays rectangular boxes with listings that correspond to the sections of the main document, in the same color as the section. Click the arrow in the upper right of a rectangular box to open the tab and see the fields listed.

configstudio8

In the example, in the Header 1 section, you can see eight fields, each of which are listed in the corresponding panel on the right, including Document Date, Due Date, Document Number, and five others. When you click on a field on the right, it highlights the same field on the left and vice versa.

configstudio9

The panel sections that display in gray, titled “Empty,” are not defined. You do not need to delete or change them. If you prefer, you can hide them. (See Selecting Basic Options).

The sections and their fields on every page of a multiple-page document need to be reviewed for accuracy and completeness. You need to correct these sections and fields by either refining their definition, modifying them, or recreating them entirely.

Reopening the Configuration Screen

To reopen the Configure screen at any time, click Configuration in the Progress Bar. If you select new documents, as you move to the Configuration screen, the program automatically runs AI. Upon completion of the process, one document displays on your screen, as described above, showing the color coded sections of the configuration profile for that trading partner.

When you want to switch to one of the other documents that you selected, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Documents icon in the Toolbar on the right side of your screen. The Selected Documents dialog box displays.
  2. From the listings, click the document you want to display.
  3. Click Switch Document. The document displays in the Configuration Screen. (See Viewing and Switching Documents).
