## Extracting and Indexing Metadata

### Document Date Metadata

Logikcull uses the following sequence of metadata fields (depending on the field's availability in the metadata), **in order of priority**, to determine a document's date:

**File and Cloud Uploads**

1. Email Date Sent
2. Email Date Received
3. Email Date Modified
4. Email Date Created
5. File Date Modified
6. File Date Created
7. System Date Modified
8. System Date Created

**Database Uploads**

1. “import_document_date”, (ie mapping the “document date” field)
2. “slack_document_date”,
3. “static_document_date”,
4. “email_time_sent”,
5. “email_time_received”,
6. “email_time_modified”,
7. “email_time_created”,
8. “file_time_modified”,
9. “file_time_created”,
10. “mtime”,
11. “ctime”,
12. “created_at”

### Document Language

Logikcull will label a document with the language that is most predominant. If more than one language exists in a document, Logikcull will decide which to call primary based on a sampling of text throughout the record. Translation services are not offered at this time. **Using extracted text, Logikcull detects the following languages:**

Albanian Arabic Bengali Bulgarian Croatian Czech Danish Dutch English Finnish French German Greek Hebrew Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Macedonian Norwegian Persian Polish Portuguese PRC Chinese [Simplified Chinese Characters] Punjabi Romanian Russian Slovakian Spanish Swedish Taiwanese Chinese [Traditional Chinese Characters] Thai Turkish Ukrainian Vietnamese
