# DocumentStats

Analyzes the text that you specify and generates basic statistics, such as the number of terms, sentences, paragraphs, and stop words in the specified text, and the number of terms that appear in IDOL Server. You provide query text by setting the Text parameter.

TIP:

You can use this action for a quick query syntax check by setting QueryAnalysis. The action returns an error when the query syntax in the Text parameter is incorrect.

NOTE:

This is an administrative action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.
