# Collect (min/max/count) Policy

This policy collects all matching rules and either selects the **minimum**, **maximum**, or **counts** the occurrences. It only works for **Return Type Value**.

**Example:**

| Rule | Condition            | Return Value |
| ---- | -------------------- | ------------ |
| 1    | Total Amount <= 1000 | 1            |
| 2    | Total Amount <= 2000 | 2            |
| 3    | Total Amount <= 3000 | 3            |
| 4    | Total Amount <= 4000 | 4            |
| 5    | Total Amount <= 5000 | 5            |

1. If the **Collect (min)** option is selected, the result will return the **minimum** of the **Return Values** for the matching rules.
   * For the input value of **Total Amount = 2500**, the evaluation of rules would be:
     * **Rule 1**: Total Amount <= 1000 (does not match)
     * **Rule 2**: Total Amount <= 2000 (does not match)
     * **Rule 3**: Total Amount <= 3000 (matches, Return Value = 3)
     * **Rule 4**: Total Amount <= 4000 (matches, Return Value = 4)
     * **Rule 5**: Total Amount <= 5000 (matches, Return Value = 5)
   * The **matching rules** are Rule 3, Rule 4, and Rule 5, with **Return Values** of **3, 4, and 5**.
   * Since the **Collect (min)** policy is applied, the result will be the **minimum value**, which is **3**.
   * **Result**: **3**
2. If the **Collect (max)** option is selected, the result will return the **maximum** of the **Return Values** for the matching rules.
   * For the same evaluation as above, the result will be:
   * **Result**: **5**
3. If the **Collect (count)** option is selected, the result will count the **number of matching rules**.
   * For the same evaluation as above, the result will be:
   * **Result**: **3** (since 3 rules matched).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.docbits.com/administration-and-setup/settings/document-processing/decision-trees/collect-min-max-count-policy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
