Create custom models in Document Automation using Standard Forms

Standard Forms are fixed format document types that have a defined template, with little or no variation in the overall layout, and are typically official or legal forms, such as a W-4 (Employee Withholding Certificate) form, income tax form, or a sale deed.

See the following video on how Microsoft Standard Forms integrates with Document Automation and its enhanced processing capabilities.

With enhanced accuracy, this feature enables you to extract data from densely structured forms including those with handwritten input in the following languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.

The following overview provides an end-to-end process you can use to create the Standard Forms data model, configure the learning instance, and publish the learning instance to process documents autonomously, all within the Document Automation interface.

Note: Set up your Document Automation environment, which includes configuring users, roles, and devices, and connecting the Control Room with the Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users: Set up your Document Automation environment.
