  1. Classic vs Story Layout

  1. Highlight Entities Button

The highlight button near the top of the document viewer will highlight entities found in the documents. Click the highlight setting button (603e73d56a4b0.png) on the left to toggle between highlighting and no highlighting. Use the button just on its right to switch between All and Current Search. When All is selected, all entities found in the document will be highlighted. When Current search is used, the system will only highlight based on the search criteria used.

The arrows allow navigation to the previous or next annotation. The marker icon furthest to the right allows you to engage in user annotation by highlighting.

At the email segment header, a blue dot (603e73e5297ff.png) indicates this segment is a direct search hit. A warning message (603e73e648a57.png) indicates the original email for this segment does not exist.

Entities and search hits are highlighted if the All or Current Search option is used for highlighting. A user can put the mouse over the highlighted entity to get more details.

  • Segment tagging: click the 603e73e951ef6.png icon to open the tag window:

    603e73eab8bcf.png

A user can check any existing tag to add it to the segment or create a new tag by entering the tag in the “Search or add tag” textbox. When you check the checkbox, the system automatically applies the selected tag to the segment and the currently loaded document.

The applied tags automatically appear at the right bottom corner of the segment. If a segment has segment tags, the tag icon will be colored blue (603e73ec0f8a9.png).

  1. Thread Diagram

The Thread Diagram is located below the Thread details window.

603e73f8dff2b.png
  • Each circle in the diagram represents a segment from the document.

  • Each unique path along the connecting lines from the furthest left circle in the top row to the furthest right circle in each row represents a unique document. In addition, an individual row may contain more than one document as indicated.

  • The Blue dots on the top indicate that the segment(s) are search hits.

  • The yellow circle is the currently loaded segment.

For example, the visualization above indicates the thread has 3 documents. Document A has segments 1, 2, 3 and 4, document B has segment 1, 5 and 6, and document C has segment 1, 2, 7.

Select any of the circles to load the selected segment into the document viewer. Even if you select a segment that is not a part of the original thread such as Segment 5 in the above visualization, it will show you that segment.

  1. Similar Threads

Click the Similar threads button to request threads related to the currently loaded one based on when this document was sent, its communicators, the entities detected, or the cluster it's in.

The similar threads found will be loaded into the documents snippet window to the right:
