Text Analysis - Advanced - Save Variable(s) - Categories
This QScript saves the categories from a selected Automatic Categorization - List of Items, Automatic Categorization - Unstructured Text, Automatic Categorization - Entity Extraction or Text Analysis - Advanced - Setup Text Analysis output as a Pick One or Pick Any - Compact question.
Technical Details
The variables created from this QScript may become invalid and need to be deleted and recreated if the output from Automatic Categorization - List of Items, Automatic Categorization - Unstructured Text, Automatic Categorization - Entity Extraction or Automatic Categorization - Advanced - Setup Text Analysis has changed, either due to the input text variable being modified or the input settings modified.
This QScript requires version 5.5.1 to be executed.
