Which locator to use for table extraction?

There ware two different locator methods for extracting tables on a document.

Table Locator

This locator method is fine-tuned for invoices with a single table of line items that can span multiple pages.

Any additional tables after the first table are ignored.

This locator is available for online learning.

Advanced Table Locator

This locator method uses a separate recognition engine that extracts and assigns a table type to every table on a document. With the aid of design-time training documents, this locator identifies specific table types to extract, no matter where the table is located on a document.

This locator is not available for online learning. All training must be done during design-time.

This means that if you are processing an invoice with a single table of list items, use a Table Locator. If you are processing a document with multiple tables, and want to extract data from one or more tables, use the Advanced Table Locator, one for each table in the document.
