Parsing and Fielding

Free-Form (Unfielded) Data

Free-form data is not organised in a predefined manner like structured data. This type of data is messy and cumbersome to analyse, since in addition to free-form text, in may contain dates and other numbers. RightFielder organises this data by extracting all the textual inputs and analyzing it, recognising where one field ends and the next one begins.

Fielded Data

Just because there’s a name in one column and an address in another, doesn’t mean they automatically match up! RightFielder re-organises fielded data into new columns using either a predefined layout and field names or custom field names.
