Install and configure ALE Learnset Manager (ALM). For information on how to install and configure ALM, refer to ALM Documentation.

You can configure the settings to use ALM for Brainware for Transcripts. In addition to configuring the Brainware database, the database connection string of ALM must be provided in the INI file for this purpose. To configure the ALM settings, complete the following steps in Solution Configuration Manager.

  1. On the Configure Project page, in the Projects list, select the BFT project to be used.
  2. In the Settings drop-down list, select Global Settings.
  3. In the Global Settings list, click ALE Settings.
    For information on specific fields, refer to the following table.
Parameter Description
Enable Automatic Learning Select this check box if you want to enable the ALM integration feature for Brainware for Transcripts.
UserName This is the username associated with the ALM account.
Password This is the password associated with the ALM account.
Automatic Learning URL This is the base URL of ALM in the format "http://IP:Port/ALM/", where IP and Port are based on the installation of ALM.
Note: The base URL is case-sensitive.
Automatic Learning Project Name This is the name of ALM project.

This is a required field. The system automatically creates a project with the same name within ALM, if it is not already present.
Fields Enabled for Learning This is a comma-separated list of Brainware fields, required for ALM integration. Only those Brainware fields, which are specified here, communicate and compare results with ALM. These fields are automatically created by the system in ALM, if it is not already present. The following criteria must be fulfilled:

  • The field name must match an existing field name in the Transcript class.

  • It must be a plain text field (not a table).

  • The field must be configured in a way that it can extract a candidate from the document.

  • It must be a header field.
ConnectionGroup This is the connection group corresponding to a connection string mentioned in the INI file, which connects to the ALM database.

For example, if SQL_VL_06_ConnectionString = "connection string to ALM" is mentioned in the INI file, then the connection group corresponding to this connection string is "6".
Confidence This is the minimum confidence that needs to be achieved for comparing ALM results with Brainware. If this minimum confidence is not attained for an ALM field, the result is ignored and comparison does not occur.

The default confidence value is set to 70. It is recommended to maintain the minimum default confidence value as 70, to get optimum results.
Distance This is the difference between two best candidates of ALM, configured as a tolerance. The system allows comparison result with ALM, if the following conditions hold true.

  • The confidence for the ALM field is greater than the minimum confidence value.

  • The difference between the two best candidates of ALM for a specific field is greater than the difference value configured in this field.

If there is only one candidate available in ALM for a particular field, you can use the value specified in the Confidence field to compare.
