Learn the sidebar

Each feature, except for Highlights, shares a common sidebar that you can manage and configure your Daylight information. Use it to:

• View search details.

• Edit your active concept list.

• Edit and manage your shared concept lists.

• Apply metadata filters to your project.

• Configure each feature visualization.
  Note: This option is not available in the Galaxy.

• View all documents that match your search and filter selections.

• Download analysis information to a spreadsheet or copy a direct URL to your clipboard.

Search details

To see information in the Search details tab, either enter a search in the search bar or click a concept to select it. Then, the tab displays total, exact, and conceptual match information for the active search.

...

If you use a minus sign to remove a concept from your search results, like “coffee, -tea,” you also see an Excluded matches section.

Active concepts

Use the Active concepts tab to view and manage suggested or active concepts and to create and edit shared concept lists. If you’re viewing a new project, click Add to active concepts to begin your analysis using concepts that Luminoso’s AI suggested, or Dismiss to clear. To begin using only some of your suggested concepts, clear the check boxes to dismiss the concepts you don’t want to keep and click Keep selected when you’re done.

...

The Active concepts tab view after loading a shared concept list into the active concept list.

You can view all suggested concepts again by clicking the three dots at the top of the Active concepts pane. Daylight identifies these concepts as potentially relevant based on their prevalence and relationship to other concepts in your project.

As you add more concepts to your active concept list, they appear in this tab. To edit a saved concept, select it and click the pencil icon in the search bar.

...

Filter documents

Use the Filter documents tab to select filters that change what data displays in the feature view. When you select a filter, it remains consistent across features. This is also true if you share a direct link to the page you’re viewing with another Daylight user.

...

View the number of total documents in your filter in the Current filter section. Use the reset button to clear all filters you’ve applied.

Configure visualization

Use the Configure visualization tab to select concepts to view in visualizations, count matching documents, and select feature configuration options. This tab is not available in the Galaxy. The options you find in this tab vary slightly by feature.

...

The Configure visualization options in Volume

Additionally, you can access the Unique to this filter concept selection feature in the Configure visualization tab. Use Unique to this filter to isolate segments within projects and find concepts that are unique to that segment, relative to the rest of the project. For example, if a project includes the entire U.S., but you filter for only customers in Utah and apply Unique to this filter, you view the concepts that are unique to Utah customers compared to the other 49 states.

...

Documents

In the Documents tab, view documents that match any concept and filter selections you have applied. If you select a concept, the tab displays only documents that contain exact and conceptual matches for that concept. Use the exact or conceptual matches icons to view only exact or conceptual matches icons in the Showing section. When you apply a filter, the tab displays only documents that match those filter criteria.

...

Click Download to download a spreadsheet that contains all documents that match your concept and filter selections. Then, you can read all documents that interest you. Click create project to build a new Daylight project based on your concept and filter selections.
