How Document Titles Are Generated

Modified on Wed, 2 Sep at 2:09 PM

A quick guide to how the system automatically creates clear, readable titles for your documents.

Overview

Every document processed by the system is automatically given a title — no manual formatting required. The title is built from three pieces of information: the type of document, its most identifiable details, and (when available) a relevant date.

This guide walks through the six-step process the system follows every time, so you know exactly what to expect and why a title looks the way it does.

The Six-Step Process

Step

What Happens

Client Takeaway

1. Start with the document type

The document's category (e.g., "bank statement") is converted into a clean, readable label.

Every title begins with a clear category name, like "Bank Statement."

2. Pick out useful details

The system reviews everything extracted from the document and keeps only reliable, meaningful text — filtering out dollar amounts, addresses, numbers, and yes/no values.

Only the most useful, human-readable details are considered for the title.

3. Prioritize names

People's names are given top priority, followed by name-like fields, then all other remaining details.

Titles favor names first, so documents are easy to recognize at a glance.

4. Remove duplicates and trim the list

Repeated values (e.g., the same person listed twice) are counted once, then the list is trimmed to a set number of details.

No redundant or cluttered titles — just the essentials.

5. Keep it short

Each detail is limited to about 30 characters; longer text is shortened at a natural word break.

Titles stay short, clean, and easy to read.

6. Add a date, if available

A relevant date is added to the end of the title, without taking up one of the earlier detail slots.

Dates are included automatically when available, for extra context.

 

Example

Combining all six steps, a processed bank statement naming a person and a date might produce a title like:

Bank Statement — Jane Smith — 03/2024

The document type leads, the most relevant name follows, and the date is added last — automatically and consistently.

Key Points to Remember

  • Titles always start with the document's category (e.g., "Bank Statement").
  • Only reliable, readable details are used — amounts, addresses, and numbers are left out.
  • People's names are prioritized over other details.
  • Duplicate values are only counted once, and the list is trimmed to keep titles concise.
  • Each detail is kept short, with long text shortened at a natural word break.
  • A date is added at the end whenever one is available.
