    Note The Maximum Pages field and the Confidence Score Threshold field of the global content extraction settings are available only in Health Cloud.
    
    1. In the Global Content Extraction Settings section, click **Edit Settings**.
    2. Enter the maximum number of consecutive pages from the first page of a document that you want to send for content extraction at a time.
        
        The default value for Maximum Pages is 5. If a user selects pages that are already scanned, the pages aren’t counted against the limit.
    3. To indicate the reliability of data in a document, enter a number from 0 to 100 as the confidence score threshold. You can enter up to two decimal places.
        
        When users create a record, fields that score below the threshold are highlighted.
    4. To extract information from identity documents, enable Amazon Textract Analyze ID.
        
        The AnalyzeID API is used to extract information from identity documents.
    5. To extract unstructured information from the documents, enable Amazon Textract Tables.
        
        The Analyze Document Tables API is used to extract information from the documents.
3. Give users Create, Read, Edit, and Delete permissions to these objects that handle document data.
    
    - Document Checklist Item
    - Location
    - Received Document
    - OCR Document Scan Result
    
    To keep the ownership of related records in sync, define the same user permissions and queue configuration for the Received Document object and the OCR Document Scan Result object.
