Will Documument Intelligence Studio support cross-page labelling anytime soon?

Question

Currently. Azure Doc Intelligence does not support cross-page labelling, will there be an update release to support this 'feature'. I need to train a custom model to identify and filter references or other unnecessary similar fields across all pages in a document.

If there are no upcoming updates in the near future, are there any alternatives in the studio that can support what I need to accomplish?

Currently, Azure Document Intelligence does not support cross-page labeling directly. However, there are ongoing updates and enhancements to the service, and it's always good to keep an eye on the Azure Document Intelligence release notes for the latest features.

Alternative / workarounds:

• Tabular fields support cross page tables by default. To label a table that spans multiple pages, label each row of the table across the different pages in the single table. As a best practice, ensure that your dataset contains a few samples of the expected variations. For example, include both samples where an entire table is on a single page and samples of a table spanning two or more pages. More info here.
• Multi page tables: When tables span multiple pages, label a single table. Add documents to the training dataset with the expected variations represented—documents with the table on a single page only and documents with the table spanning two or more pages with all the rows labeled.
• Custom Models: You can train custom models to identify and filter references or other fields. Although this might require some manual effort to ensure consistency across pages, it can be a viable solution.

Hope this helps.
