Summary

This configuration allows to configure substitutions to change one specific word to another (e.g. To correct common typos) and you can also configure words that will be ignored.

To allow Ignores and Substitutions to run you must select Auto Labelling Enabled so that labels are created by words in the subject.

Creating a Ignore value

Create a Single Ignore value

  1. Click on “New Ignored Word” to enter a new value.

  2. Enter the relevant ignore word within the textbox and press Submit.

  3. Now you will be able to see the Ignore word within the Ignore list.

Bulk Ignore Creation

Within the Bulk Ignore Creation there is a textbox which allows you to enter multiple Ignore words at once. (New entries on newlines)

Hit the Submit button to save these ignore words into the Ignores list:

Creating a Substitution Value

Creating a Single Substitution

  1. Click on “New Substitution” to enter a new value.

  2. Enter the word that you want to replace within Original and then enter the new value within Substitute. Then press Submit

  3. This will then add the value to the Substitution list.

Bulk Substitution Creation

In a similar way to the Ignore bulk upload, the text area in the Substitution section allows key=value entries (one per line) to be inserted and uploaded for en-mass conversion.

Hit the submit button to save these substitutions within the Substitution list

Test Case Example

Test Case

Create a test and set the subject to be:

AutoLabel example ignore_me color logon

Created Issue

When the Test Case is processed it will show that:

  • The ignores list filtered “ignore_me”

  • Substitution replaced “color” with “colour”

  • Substitutions replaced “logon” with “login”
