View source for EN:Result List

The result list is used to display the results of performed searches and the contents of folders.<br />

== General==

After carrying out a [[EN:Patent Search|search]] a new tab automatically opens displaying the respective result list.<br />
The search window and the corresponding result list are grouped and highlighted in the same colour.<br />

[[File:resultList.jpg|800px]]

It is possible to switch between the open tabs.<br />
New tabs are opened when a new search is carried out.<br />


Among other things, the result list is used to [[EN:Evaluation|evaluate]] patents (Allocation of stars and comments).<br />
Subsequently the status of a patent can be changed.<br />
Initially all patents are set as "unread" and can then be changed to the status "not relevant" or "OK".<br />

[[File:resultList-1.jpg|800px]]

=== Basis of the result list ===

A [[EN:Data_Content|basis]] is always given in the result list: <br />

'''D'''-Document<br />
'''A'''-Application<br />
'''S'''-Strict family<br />
'''E'''-Extended family<br />

Which basis is originally selected in a result list depends on how this result list was created. <br />
A result list can e.g. result from an executed [[EN:Patent_Search#Basis_of_the_search|search]] or when a [[EN:Folders|folder]] is opened. <br />

The original basis of the result list can be changed: <br />

Hits can be grouped to a larger basis. <br />
E.g. from document to strict family - of the documents in the result only one representative per strict family is displayed <br />


Or a smaller basis is selected. <br />
e.g. from strict family to document - all documents from the strict families are displayed <br />


'' 'Example number search according to EP 123456 A' '' <br />
The basis of the number search is always document. <br />
Therefore all EP-A documents are displayed (2D). <br />
[[File:NumberResult-1.jpg|800px]]

If the basis is changed from D-Document to A-Application, only one document is displayed per application.

With the amount under "D", all 3 documents of the registration are now counted and therefore the number increases. <br />

The B document is now also counted. It was not found earlier because due to the restriction to A documents. <br />

[[File:NumberResult-2.jpg|800px]]

When changing to S-strict family, all applications and documents of the strict family will be considered. <br />
This increases the number of "A" and "D": <br />

[[File:NumberResult-3.jpg|800px]]

If you switch back to D-documents, not 8 documents are displayed, but only the 2 documents found in the original number search. <br />

The result list never forgets the original basis and the original hits. <br />
Therefore it is always displayed in bold. <br />
(in this example: "D") <br />

=== Basis and representative ===

For example, if a strict family search is performed, a representative of the strict family will be displayed in the results list. <br/>

Which document from this strict family is displayed as a representative depends on the following two settings: <br/>

1, '' 'Preferred Document' '' <br/>
This setting is available for every [[EN:Projects|project]] and every task. <br/>
Here you can select whether first publication or grant should be displayed as a preference. <br/>

[[File:ProjectSetting.jpg|600px]]

2, '''[[DE:Einstellungen#Bevorzugte_L.C3.A4nder|Bevorzugtes Land]]''' <br/>
This setting is available for every user. <br/>
Here an order - priority for the countries is set. <br/>
(the top selected country in the list has the highest priority to be displayed as a representative) <br/>

[[File:Prefered countries.jpg|800px]]

The logic for determining the representative is explained below: <br/>

1, The "preferred document" setting is set to: '' 'First publication' '' <br/>
Step 1: The preferred registration is determined from the strict family based on the "Preferred Country" setting. <br/>
Step 2: The first publication is determined from this application. <br/>

2, The "preferred document" setting is: '''Grant''' <br/>
Step 1: The living grants from the strict family are identified. <br/>
Step 2: The preferred document is determined from the grants based on the "Preferred Country" setting. <br/>


The folders or folder assignments are an exception to this logic. <br/>
The folders have their own [[EN:Folders#Representative|representative]].<br/>

=== Examples ===

The following screenshots show the search on the left and the result of this search on the right. <br />

'''Option: "Document"'''<br />
Exactly one document (B document) was searched for and this document is displayed in the result list. <br />
("1 D" - 1 document) <br />
[[File:SearchBaseExampleD.jpg|1000px]] <br />


'''Option: "Application"'''<br />
The search is performed via application and therefore applications are displayed in the result. <br />
("1 A" - 1 application) <br />
A total of 3 documents are summarized in this application. <br />
("3 D" - 3 documents) <br />

[[File:SearchBaseExampleA.jpg|1000px]] <br />

In this example the representative of this application is the A2 document, since the setting "preferred document" - first publication is selected. <br />

[[File:ProjectSetting.jpg|500px]]


'''Option: families (in this example "Strict family")''' <br />
The setting "preferred document" is set to first publication. <br />
The search is carried out using strict families and therefore strict families are displayed in the result. <br />
("1 S" - 1 strict family) <br />

[[File:SearchBaseExampleS.jpg|950px]] <br />

The representative of this strict family in this example is again the EP A2 document. <br />

In the "Preferred Country" setting, EP is placed in front of the CA entry. <br />
[[File:Prefered countries2.jpg|700px]] <br />


'''Another example of strict family'''<br />
This time the setting "preferred document" is set to grant. <br />

[[File:PreferedGrantedOption.jpg|150px]] <br />

The search is again carried out using strict families and therefore strict families are displayed in the result. <br />
("1 S" - 1 strict family) <br />

[[File:SearchBaseExampleSgranted.jpg|950px]] <br />

The representative of this strict family in this example is the EP B1 document. <br />

Step 1 - light blue: The living grants from the strict family are identified. <br/>
Step 2 - dark blue: The preferred document is determined from the grants based on the "Preferred Country" setting. <br/>

[[File:DetailViewGrantedRepresentative.jpg|900px]] <br />

The DE B4 document will not be considered because it is already "dead". <br />

== Number search and display of results ==

The display of results can be grouped into different [[EN:Data Content|units]]:<br />

'''D'''-Document<br />
'''A'''-Application<br />
'''S'''-Strict family<br />
'''E'''-Extended family<br />

'''Example: number search for EP 123456 A'''<br />
All EP-A Documents are displayed (2D).<br />

[[File:NumberResult-1.jpg|800px]]

If the unit is changed from D-Document to A-Application, all 3 documents of the application are counted, thus increasing number of hits (3D).<br />
Now the B-Document which was not found previously is also displayed, as the search was limited to the A-Document.<br />

[[File:NumberResult-2.jpg|800px]]

After changing to S-strict family additional applicants and documents are displayed.<br />

[[File:NumberResult-3.jpg|800px]]

When changing back to D-Documents, only the 2 documents found in the number search will be displayed.<br />

== Status of a patent ==

The following statuses are available (with increasing weighting):<br />

*None (unread)
*not relevant (read)
*OK (read)

The status "not relevant" has a higher weighting than "None" and "OK" has the highest weighting.<br />
All documents initially have the status "None".<br />
In the result list the current status of a document is displayed to the right of the patent number in the result list.<br />
If the status is "None", this field is left blank.<br />
The 3 buttons for the allocation of the status, display the status of the currently selected document.<br />

'''Example'''

As long as D - Documents is selected as a basis, all statuses can be displayed:<br />

[[File:Status-1.jpg|750px]]

When changing to A - Application:<br />

[[File:Status-2.jpg|700px]]

Now the highest status ("OK") is displayed next to the patent number. <br />
The status "not relevant" is displayed during the status allocation, as the status of the representative is shown here.<br />
The B-Document has the status "not relevant" and the B-Document is shown as the representative.<br />

== Select results ==

In the result list it is possible to select specific patents for the Word/Excel export.<br/>
[[File:ExcelExportSelection.jpg|100px]]

The selection supports the features of the Windows-Explorer: <br/>
With the shortcut Ctrl+A, all patents of the displayed page are selected.  <br/>
Holding down the Shift-key and mouse click selects specific areas of patents.  <br/>
Holding down the Ctrl-key and mouse click selects multiple specific patents. <br/>

Here, it is important that the mouse click takes place in the following areas: <br/>
[[File:ResListSelection.jpg|800px]]

Obviously, it is also possible to select the entire result for the Excel export. <br/>
[[File:ExcelExportWholeRes.jpg|100px]]


== Save/open/manage==

Depending on which unit/basis is selected in the current result, the result list is also saved with this setting.<br />
The number of results also corresponds to the selected basis.<br />

[[File:Manage resultLists.jpg|800px]]
