CTE can be configured for college and high school classes only.
To view the CTE table for college, do the following:
- Navigate to the Definition mode and under the Classes tab, expand the Transcripts class and double-click High School. The High School fields are displayed.
- Select either CTEHSCoursework or CTEHSNoSemCoursework field, right-click and select Show Properties. The Analysis tabbed area is displayed.
- In the Available Analysis Engines drop-down, Table Analysis Engine is displayed, by default.
In this case only CTEHSCoursework table is enough to handle the extraction that means no need to use the other table i.e. CTEHSNoSemCoursework for those transcripts.
However, in some other cases the Term or Semester values are presented in rows and not in columns (See Figure 2 and 3) or in cases where there is no clearly visible separate column available to group the semester records (See Figure 4), in such cases, it is advised to use CTEHSNoSemCoursework table.
For such documents (Figure 2 and 3) where Term or Semester values are present in rows, the column "Term" or "T" should be trained as "Sem" in the CTE table.
Also "Mark" (in Figure 2) or "G" (in Figure 3) columns of the documents should be trained as "Mark" in the CTE table.
In such cases (see Figure 4), where there are no Term or Semester values present in the document, you don't need to train the "Sem" column in the CTE table, but you need to train "Mark" and other columns accordingly.
Apart from the structures explained above, there is a possibility that in few transcripts a single document might have both types of structures. For example, in the upper half of the document semester results are grouped as columns, and the lower half of the document has coursework records which also needs to be extracted. For such cases both parts can be trained separately with appropriate CTE tables. For the upper half CTEHSCoursework table can be used and for the bottom half CTEHSNoSemCoursework table can be used to train and extract.
The extraction results from CTE are saved in these tables.
All these CTE tables in the Verifier form, which contain the pure CTE extraction results i.e. CTEColCoursework, CTEHSCoursework and CTEHSNoSemCoursework are visible only in Designer or Verifier Test Mode and not in Verifier. Therefore, to train the CTE engine, or create chains for CTE, you need to use the Verifier Test Mode.
While training it is recommended to only train the columns that are visible in the left CTE table. It is not necessary to train hidden columns.
In the image above (Figure 5), the Learn As context menu displays additional columns than the ones that are displayed in the CTE coursework table. For example, "RowTop", "Term", "Attempted", "Repeat", "RowPage", "RowColmn", "College Code" etc.
