This Sensible Instruct method extracts a table in a document based on your description of the table title and each of its column headers.

Prompt Tips

• Extract all columns to get the best results. If you describe only a few of the columns, your results may be less accurate.

• Use the table titles or table column headers in the document as descriptions.

• For more information about how to write descriptions, or "prompts", see Query extraction tips.

• For advanced options, see Advanced prompt configuration.
