Description of the information to extract. The field name and description together determine what text the system extracts from the document. Include relevant context or additional details to identify the correct information. This may include keywords. For example, `The contract number or the number of the reference contract`.

 Include examples of the information to extract. For example, `AGR-2023-0042`, `CON2039739`, or `BV-22122KEY`.

 Example field configuration:

 ```
Field name: Currency
Details: The currency in which the contract is denominated. Only valid
for Order Forms. Otherwise, leave it empty (''). If the currency symbol
is '$', answer 'USD'. Examples: 'USD', 'EUROS', 'GBP', etc.
```
