Specify a string that includes a keyword in [Keyword to Exclude].

When detecting attributes, the keyword to exclude (string A) and keyword to detect (string B) are searched for from the strings in the form. Areas where strings A and B overlap in the search results or form are excluded from the results due to string A.

Keyword Keyword to Exclude Description
Example 1 total subtotal Because "subtotal" includes "total", it will normally be detected, but if "subtotal" is included in the keywords to exclude, "subtotal" will not be detected.
Example 2 total tal "tal" does not include "total". The "tal" keyword to exclude is ignored.
Example 3 sub, grandtotal subtotal "subtotal" includes "sub" but does not include "grandtotal". In this case, values such as "sub", "grandtotal", and "subsum" (including "sub") are detected, but "subtotal" is not.
Example 4 costsubtotal costsubtotal If the keyword is the same as the keyword to exclude, the search results are the same for both and no values with "costsubtotal" are detected. (The "costsubtotal" keyword is disabled due to the keyword to exclude.)

  • When determining whether a keyword is included in a keyword to exclude or searching for keywords and keywords to exclude from the strings on a form, the following are not distinguished.
    • Spaces
    • Hyphens, long-vowel symbols, or minus symbols
    • Full-width and half-width characters
    • Upper case and lower case characters
