# Field & Fieldset: Configure Highlighting

## In order to emphasize the importance of certain fields and fieldsets within a document type, you can configure Highlighting during the Extraction Validation process.

This configuration is only available for individual document types.

### Where to Find the Highlighting Configuration

To configure highlighting, navigate to the following menu:

1. Configuration -\> Document Types
2. Select the document type you wish to configure
3. Click on Fields (see below)

### Available Highlighting Options

In the Fields section, you will find two checkboxes that control the highlighting behavior:

- Highlight Rows? 
    - When enabled, the system will highlight every row with a box around all fields in the document type.

- Highlight Columns? 
    - This option highlights the every column of fields within a different color.

By selecting one or both of these options, you can tailor the highlighting to emphasize the parts of the document that are most important during validation.

### Examples of Highlighting Configuration

To better illustrate how these settings work, below are two examples:

- **Example 1:** All fieldsets are highlighted in the document. This configuration makes all the important fields stand out for easier identification during validation.

- **Example 2:** No highlighting is applied during the extraction validation. This provides a more neutral view of the document for comparison. Here you only see those fields which has been confirmed for extraction already.
