Autofill columns
I used SharePoint Syntex Autofill to automatically extract metadata from documents using natural language prompts. I added a Smoke? Autofill column to a Document Library. The objective was to automatically label patient medical reports.

I uploaded a patient medical report to a SharePoint Document Library. I clicked the + Add column button. I added a Smoke? column. I enabled the Autofill feature for this column. I added the Does the patient smoke? prompt.

I clicked the Save button

I started the Autofill processing

I was told that my files were being processed

I clicked the View autofill activity button

I uploaded 5 more medical report documents

By default the Smoke? column was set to true

After a few minutes the autofill process completed. The Smoke? column value was updated.

Reviewing the hp2 document confirmed that the Smoke? column value had been set correctly.
