6.Click Confirm to add the UXML template. When creating a new pattern, a template name is required.

After the template is created, it can be used to generate Unified XML output into which the data from documents will fit. When using the Document Template Designer window, you can bind extracted information from a document to a template defined in the Unified XML designer.

 

By matching between the document objects and the requested fields, the Output XML will be generated. Output XML conforms to the same XML schema as the template. The only difference is that the Output XML has all the fields filled with the information from the document.
