Parse Definition Quick Editor - Categorization and Rule Building

The Categorization and Rule Building tab shows the results after the new parse definition is applied to your data.

The columns include:

Word Count - the number of words in the sentence
Categorized Words - the words matched with words in the vocabulary
Categorization Status - the percentage of words from the total number of words found to have a category in the vocabulary
Root Category Rule - whether a particular sentence matched a specified pattern rule or not

Word/Category

The Word/Category table displays the parsed entry. If there is a grammar rule related to the word, it displays in the table. Each step displays how the final definition arrived at the results from the previous definitions and processed components.

You can click an entry to see the Word/Category at the bottom of the screen.

Add Rule to Derived Category - Once a category is created, you can select the category and right-click Add Rule to Derived Category to create an additional category.

Note Note: A rule must be associated with the Derived Category prior to saving the parse definition.
