DocumentAttributeCondition - Amazon Kendra API Reference

DocumentAttributeCondition

The condition used for the target document attribute or metadata field when ingesting documents into Amazon Kendra. You use this with DocumentAttributeTarget to apply the condition.

For example, you can create the 'Department' target field and have it prefill department names associated with the documents based on information in the 'Source_URI' field. Set the condition that if the 'Source_URI' field contains 'financial' in its URI value, then prefill the target field 'Department' with the target value 'Finance' for the document.

Amazon Kendra cannot create a target field if it has not already been created as an index field. After you create your index field, you can create a document metadata field using DocumentAttributeTarget. Amazon Kendra then will map your newly created metadata field to your index field.
