Document Understanding - Checkboxes and Signatures

No problem. Thanks for your help. I think for now using a Form Extractor activity, I will either

  1. Identify each checkbox separately as a Boolean and use an If/Else to assign what text should be assigned to a variable, or
  2. Extract the entire field, like “Domestic ☒ International ☐” and do string manipulation to determine which option is selected.

I would lean toward the first option since it’s possible for someone to submit a form with symbols other than X in the checkbox.

Of course, there may be methods to do this more accurately using an ML package and skill, but I haven’t tested that out yet.
