Why This is Important
Reviewing large volumes of documents for key information, such as in due diligence or discovery is a time-consuming, manual process. Document Review with Vincent Tables automates this repetitive work, saving you hours and reducing the risk of human error. It allows you to intuitively analyze documents in bulk and quickly extract the exact information you need.
Step-by-Step Guide
Vincent Tables offers a powerful way to extract and organize information from your documents. Here's how to get started:
1. Creating Your Table
Navigate to the Vincent Tables section to begin. You have two main options to create your table:
Let AI Create It (Recommended): Simply describe the information you need in plain language. For example, type "create a table to extract key information from technology supplier contracts." Vincent will automatically generate a comprehensive table with the most relevant columns for your task.
Create from Scratch: Manually define each column yourself, specifying what information you want to extract.
2. Connecting Your Documents
Once your table structure is ready, connect a Collection to it. Vincent will then process all the documents in that collection, whether it's ten or a thousand and begin populating your table with the extracted information.
3. Editing and Refining Your Table
The tables are fully dynamic, allowing you to make changes on the fly without reprocessing the entire document set.
Add, Edit, or Delete Columns: You can easily add new columns, remove ones you don't need, or edit an existing column to change the question being asked.
Add, Edit, or Delete Columns. Change Output Formats: For any column, you can change the expected output format (e.g., from Text to Date or Number) to ensure the data is structured correctly.
Filter and Sort: Use the built-in tools to filter, classify, and sort the data within your table to quickly find what you need.
4. Interacting with Your Table via Chat
You can have a natural conversation with your table to perform further analysis or modifications. Simply open the chat panel and ask:
For new information: "Add a column with the price."
To summarize findings: "Which of these contracts are currently in force?"
To generate a work product: "Write an email to my client summarizing the key obligations for these suppliers."
5. Verifying and Exporting Your Results
Verify with a Click: Every piece of information in the table is linked directly back to the specific clause in the source document where it was found. This allows for instant verification and builds complete trust in the data.
Trust but Verify with Enhanced References: Vincent is built on transparency. You can instantly verify any source by hovering over the blue highlighted text to see the original quote, or clicking to view the full document in context.
Download Your Work: Once you are finished, you can download the entire table as a CSV or Excel file for use in other applications.
