MoreHow it works
Read, detect, file.
Classification is part of every processing from Basic. You describe your types in words, detection runs from the first document.
Detect
The type comes from the predefined catalog or from your own types, which you describe in a few sentences. No training, no sample documents. Every document gets exactly one type. If none fits well enough, it stays under Other.
File
Five storage path suggestions, retention period and legal basis per type, and an optional default IDP agent. As a filter in a workflow agent's start event, the type starts an invoice approval, for example. Correctable as long as no retention lock applies.
Where classification applies
- Workspace Every new document from Basic is classified.
- Connectors Imported files land typed in the workspace.
- Web app Maintain types, review results, correct.
- Workflows The type acts as a filter in the start event, for example for invoice approval.
- REST API Analysis per document, create and read types.
- MCP Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor ask for type and sender.
Capabilities
More than a label.
Type, language, direction, sender and the rules per type.
- Document type
Invoice, contract, delivery note, quote, letter and many more from the catalog, plus your own.
- Storage paths
Five storage path suggestions per document, usable as a filter in the folder view.
- Sender
From Premium, detected from letterhead and logo and matched against the publisher registry.
- Direction
Incoming or outgoing, derived from sender and recipient.
- Language
Document language and region detected, for search, agents and reports.
- Workflow trigger
As a filter in the start event, the type starts workflow agents, for example an approval. Each type can also start a default IDP agent.
- Retention
Retention period and legal basis per type. When you seal a document as revision-secure, this period applies to the WORM lock.
- Own types
Described in natural language, active immediately, without training.
Comparison
Folder rules, training or description.
The difference is what you have to do before the first document lands in the right place.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about document types
Do I have to train the classification?
No. The catalog recognizes common types immediately. For your own type you enter a name and a short instruction for the AI in English, for example: maintenance report from a technician with date, asset and signature. It is detected from the next document on.
What is detected besides the type?
From Basic: language and country, direction, summary, keywords, dates, amounts and five storage path suggestions. Premium adds sender, recipient and further fields, Ultra a recommended retention period.
Can a document have several types?
No. Every document gets exactly one type, the best match. If none fits well enough, it stays under Other.
What happens with a wrong assignment?
You change the type in the document's properties or via API, as long as neither a retention lock nor a legal hold applies. If you later seal the document as revision-secure, the new type's retention period and legal basis apply.
Why retention periods per type?
So invoices, contracts and HR documents are kept by their rules. When you seal a document as revision-secure, the WORM lock takes the retention period and legal basis of its type. Until the period ends, the document can then be neither deleted nor moved.
Which processing depth do I need?
Classification runs from Basic in every workspace. Archive only stores, there you can set types manually.
Is there an API?
Yes. Document analysis, type catalog and own types with retention are available via the REST API and in the MCP server.
