When adding a document to the platform, you can access several features, organised in tabs, to help you work.

Don't forget to assign your document to a collection and to verify that it is well-indexed to ensure the good functioning of the tools.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


General information

When opening your document, you land on the first tab on the right of the document preview.

General knowledge

When your document is indexed, the platform automatically extracts some general information:

  • Document Type: scientific publication, technical document, regulation, patent, clinical trial report, regulatory approval, or other
  • Description: 1-line description
  • Keywords: either found in text or generated
  • additional information depending on the document type: first and last author, authoring organization, inventors and so on.

It is important to note that these additional information (visible when clicking on 'See more') are used to facilitate citation and bibliography management in the Editor. If they are not computed, we highly recommend to click on the arrow on the top-right to relaunch the computation.

Personal notes

At any moment, you can add notes to your document. Those notes are personal and only visible by you.

Metadata

Metadata of the document are also available.

They are composed of:

  • the last parsing date (internal data)
  • the creation date (internal data)
  • the format (external data, if available)
  • the creator (external data, if available)
  • the producer (external data, if available)
  • the size (external data, if available for images only)
  • the mode (external data, if available for images only)
  • the class (external data, if available for images only)

References

In References, the second tab in the menu on the right, you can identify and manage the references of your document.


Find references

The References finder is a tool that will identify the best in-favor arguments for the selected statement:

  1. With the toolbar, choose a selection mode between text or bloc: text selection is more precise but will not be available for all file formats; if your document is scanned for example, the bloc selection will be the best option.
  2. Select the file(s) or collection(s) you want as document sources.
  3. Then, launch the References finder: it might take some time depending on the number of sources to analyze, but you can continue your work by selecting a new part of the document or moving to another task; the tool will run in the background.
  4. Several references and their respective arguments are proposed, you can either accept or reject them: you can consult the arguments within each reference before making a decision.


If the results are insufficient or empty, you should consider reducing the number of sources or adapting the size of the statement you selected. Indeed, a statement with too much or too little information might not work.


Statements selected in the document are highlighted in blue.

When clicking on the highlighted text, it displays the related references on the right.

Knowledge

In Knowledge, the third tab in the menu, you can access all the meta associated to your document.

From there, you can:

  • Add knowledge specific to your document: you can extract information by adding a field or using the same presets as in the knowledge table and consult arguments and explanation for each.

  • Apply knowledge to a collection: if the work you have done can apply to the other documents of your collection, you can spread it in one click. It will appear on other documents and in the knowledge table of your collection.
  • Recompute the meta of your file: if your data is stale or you encountered some errors that prevented the computation, you can recompute all your file metas at once by clicking on the arrow.

Parsing

In Parsing, the fourth tab in the menu, you can access the parsing output of the file. 

It is interesting to understand what has been understood by the computer when treating your document and to get immediate value right after the indexation fo your file.

From there, you can:

  • Navigate between the parsed elements: you can click on the part of your interest on the document, the right window will scroll to the corresponding parsing output
  • Filter on the output that matter: you can filter by output type if you want to focus on figures or tables for examples
  • Copy or download raw outputs: you can copy or download figures and tables that have been extracted from your document in just a click
  • Get access to semantic description: figures have an additional semantic description created by the model
