# EntityFieldN

A comma-separated list of document fields to associate with the entities specified by the EntityN or CellEntityN parameter. When a document contains particular entities, Named Entity Recognition saves the associated text in the fields that you specify in this parameter. The entity field number `N` must match the corresponding EntityN or CellEntityN number.

Every EntityN parameter must have a corresponding value for `EntityFieldN`.

For CellEntityN you can alternatively set TableEntityFieldN. If you set both TableEntityFieldN and `EntityFieldN` for an entity, table entities use only TableEntityFieldN.

NOTE: When you configure both CellEntityN and EntityN, OpenText strongly recommends that you set TableEntityFieldN for the table entities to avoid ambiguity in the output fields.

For CellEntityN, you can specify a field value for each CellEntityN (by using `EntityFieldN` or TableEntityFieldN), or for none of them (that is, you cannot specify a field for only some CellEntityN parameters). If you do not set any values for `EntityFieldN` or TableEntityFieldN for table entities, Named Entity Recognition uses the value of CellEntityN to create a default field name (the capitalized entity name, with `/ *` and `?` characters replaced with underscores).
