Working with Tables
Some interventions include table data (like invoice line items).
Reviewing Tables
- Scroll horizontally if columns extend beyond the view
- Each row represents one item
- Compare against source documents
Editing Table Cells
- Click any cell to edit
- Tab to move to the next cell
- Changes apply immediately
Adding Rows
If the workflow allows it:
- Click Add Row at the bottom
- Fill in the required fields
- The new row appears at the bottom
Removing Rows
If the workflow allows it:
- Hover over the row
- Click the delete icon
- Confirm the deletion
Some tables have minimum or maximum row requirements. You'll see a warning if you try to exceed limits.
Comparing with Source Documents
Often you'll need to compare extracted data against original documents.
Open the Attachment
Click the attached file to open a preview pane.
Position the Preview
Drag the preview to a convenient location, or resize the panes.
Compare Field by Field
Work through each field, checking against the source.
Note Discrepancies
If data doesn't match and you can't determine the correct value, add a comment explaining the issue.
Validation
Some fields have validation rules:
| Validation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Required | Field cannot be empty |
| Format | Must match a pattern (e.g., email, phone) |
| Range | Number must be within limits |
| Unique | Value can't duplicate another field |
When validation fails:
- The field shows a red border
- An error message appears below
- You can't approve until fixed
Snapshots and Revisions
Every edit creates a snapshot, letting you track changes and revert if needed.
Viewing History
- Click History in the intervention view
- See a list of all changes with timestamps
- Click any revision to see the data at that point
Reverting Changes
If you made a mistake:
- Open History
- Find the correct revision
- Click Revert to this version
- Confirm
Reverting affects all fields, not just the one you're concerned about. Check all data after reverting.
