What is the difference between Monarch models and Report Models? 

 

The main difference between Monarch models and Report models are the type of data region used. Monarch models are all appended data. In ReportMiner the models consists of a hierarchy with a top or parent region and child regions. It is a tree structure. This better represents how the data is extracted.  

 

Best Practices

  • When converting your xmod, always make sure to preview your model to make sure everything is being extracted correctly. 

Scaling Factor

  • If your Monarch model is using a PDF, you may need to adjust the scaling factor. (See scaling factor here).
