The GUI 300 may include a train chain button 318. When the GUI receives a selection of the train chain button 318, the textual extraction application 106 may generate the defined criteria based upon selections of textual elements within the document 200 displayed in the first pane 302 as well as contents of the plurality of fields 306-316.
Turning now to FIG. 4, another view of the GUI 300 is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 4, a second educational transcript is shown in the first pane 302. Certain textual elements within the second educational transcript differ from the educational transcript shown in FIG. 3. For instance, the identifiers for the classes now comprise four digits instead of three as in FIG. 3. Additionally, positions of textual elements differ within the second transcript as compared to the educational transcript shown in FIG. 3.
As shown in FIG. 4, a fifth textual element 402 (“Jane C. White”), a sixth textual element 404 (“Cumulative GPA: 3.80”), a seventh textual element 406 (“MATH1001”), and an eighth textual element 408 (“A”) have been selected by the textual extraction application 106 in accordance with the above-described processes and based upon the defined criteria described above.
