Since we launched SharePoint Syntex, we’ve expanded the capabilities, integrations, and availability of Syntex to provide you a better AI-powered platform for intelligent document processing (IDP). Let’s look at these advancements – as well as new resources – that help you achieve more with your content.
Innovations and updates
We started 2022 by providing access to Syntex to all Microsoft 365 users with SharePoint. You can build models to classify documents and extract metadata, access content centers, and work with processed documents and their metadata – without a Syntex seat license. (A Syntex seat license is still required for the processing of documents (including uploading content to be processed), and still required to use other Syntex features like advanced metadata search, document generation, image tagging, vertical solutions like contracts, and more.)
We also integrated the Syntex taxonomy service with Microsoft Viva Topics to automatically build business taxonomies from the content you save to libraries across Microsoft 365 and prebuild topic pages.
Automatically build topics from the term store
In addition, we deepened the use cases for Syntex with the introduction of new and powerful features and capabilities, including the following:
- Document Understanding: We’ve added new abilities to refine extracted values (e.g., handling duplicates and multiple values) and to add new entities dynamically to taxonomy term sets.
- Form processing: We’ve removed the 300-seat minimum to get 1MM credits to use AI Builder. Now, we’ve expanding eligibility for AI Builder credits by including 3,500 credits per Syntex license per month, pooled at the tenant level, with a maximum allocation of 1M credits per month.
- Content assembly: With content assembly, you can build new content from your existing data sources or turn existing documents into templates to generate new content like contracts, invoices, or statements of work. Now, you can generate Word or PDF output, and embed placeholders inside tables. Public roadmap item 88717
- Contract management: With contract management you can govern contract creation, analysis, and lifecycles with standard clause libraries, workflow driven approvals, and automatic classification. Public roadmap item 88713
- Prebuilt models: Quickly configure and deploy models to extract information from your invoices and receipts. Public roadmap ID 88703
- Content center site design: Easily build content centers with a ready-to-deploy instructional SharePoint site template to begin creating and managing document understanding models. Public Roadmap ID 88705
- Advanced metadata search: Perform specific metadata-based queries on SharePoint document libraries to make faster, more precise queries based on specific metadata column values, rather than just searching for keywords.
- Advanced search with custom columns: You can add custom metadata columns, including multiline text and taxonomy fields, to the Syntex advanced search form for any licensed Syntex user. Public roadmap ID 88961
- Syntex assessment tool: Generate a Power BI report that summarizes trends in your SharePoint information architecture to find places where Syntex might be of high value.
