[Automatic classification](https://support.parashift.io/classify-documents-automatically?hsLang=en) can be used together with [manual classification](https://support.parashift.io/classify-documents-with-manual-validation?hsLang=en) by not specifying a document type during upload. When using a standard document type or an individual document type for which documents have already been validated, the platform automatically tries to assign a new document to a document type. ### Configuration in the Upload Profile Two values can be defined for this in the upload profile. On the one hand, it is possible to define a **threshold value**, from which probability a document is automatically assigned to the determined document type, on the other hand, a **default document type** can be stored for documents that do not reach this threshold value. ### Process Diagram It is first checked whether a document type was already **specified during the upload**. Subsequently, the **automatic classification** is performed and for each document type a probability is determined to which the document belongs to the document type. If the probability is high enough for a document type, this document type is used. If no **default document type** is defined, the document is offered to the user for **manual classification** with the specification of the probability that applies to each document type. ![](https://support.parashift.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-31-2025-08-32-46-9245-AM.png?width=670&height=366&name=undefined-Oct-31-2025-08-32-46-9245-AM.png) ### Manual Classification If you open the document classification interface, a probability value is displayed for each class, and the most probable document type is already selected. You have to confirm the assignment via the *Done* button as usual. ![1-Aug-27-2026-09-28-54-3070-AM](https://support.parashift.io/hs-fs/hubfs/1-Aug-27-2026-09-28-54-3070-AM.png?width=670&height=330&name=1-Aug-27-2026-09-28-54-3070-AM.png)   - [Getting Started](https://support.parashift.io/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [User Guides](https://support.parashift.io/user-guides?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://support.parashift.io/user-guides?hsLang=en#general) - [Validation](https://support.parashift.io/user-guides?hsLang=en#validation) - [Platform Workshops](https://support.parashift.io/user-guides?hsLang=en#platform-workshops) - [Configuration Guides](https://support.parashift.io/configuration-guides?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Document Type & Fields](https://support.parashift.io/configuration-guides?hsLang=en#document-type-fields) - [Automation](https://support.parashift.io/configuration-guides?hsLang=en#automation) - [Tenant (User management)](https://support.parashift.io/configuration-guides?hsLang=en#tenant-user-management) - [Workflow (Upload Configuration, Separation, Classification)](https://support.parashift.io/configuration-guides?hsLang=en#workflow-upload-configuration-separation-classification) - [Release Notes](https://support.parashift.io/release-notes?hsLang=en) - [API Documentation](https://support.parashift.io/api-documentation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Platform API Configuration](https://support.parashift.io/api-documentation?hsLang=en#platform-api-configuration) - [Technical API Documentation](https://support.parashift.io/api-documentation?hsLang=en#technical-api-documentation) - [Professional Services](https://support.parashift.io/professional-services?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Project-based Service Packages](https://support.parashift.io/professional-services?hsLang=en#project-based-service-packages) - [Subscription-based Service Packages](https://support.parashift.io/professional-services?hsLang=en#subscription-based-service-packages) [![Knowledge Base Home](https://support.parashift.io/hubfs/parashift_logo_black-2.svg "Knowledge Base Home")](https://support.parashift.io/?hsLang=en) [Platform Live Status](https://status.parashift.io/)   |   [API Documentation](https://docs.parashift.io/) [mailto:support@parashift.io](mailto:support@parashift.io) Copyright © 2025, Parashift AG
