EN:Highlighting

The highlighting is used to group terms and create synonym groups.
Different colours can be assigned to the different groups.
This way specific terms can be highlighted in the patent texts.

Utilization of the highlighting

Open the highlighting via the menu item "Highlighting" - "Manage".
Here the highlighting can be set up and edited.

It is possible to set up multiple highlighting schemes.
One highlighting scheme contains one or more synonym groups.
When switching from one scheme to another, the newly selected scheme is activated using the button “Activate“.

Using right click it is possible to instantly add a term from a patent text to a highlighting group.
This way it is also possible to create new highlighting groups.
Previously created groups can be used in the Textsuche.

Share Highlighting schemes

Highlighting schemes can be shared in the network or with selected users.
Do this by using the "Share" button.

You can select from a variety of options.

Other users can subscribe to the shared highlighting schemes using the "Shared Elements" button.

Add Highlighting schemes to projects/tasks

Highlighting Schemata can be attached to projects or tasks.

Click the paperclip button to open the respective window.

Here, the current Highlighting scheme can be attached to the desired project/task.

Previously attached highlighting schemes will be displayed as well.

As soon as a user opens the respective project/task the linked highlighting scheme is loaded and opened. This is also considered on our website.

Priority of highlighting groups

Example

Mark an entire word

Example

Don’t mark words (Add exceptions)

Example:
All terms containing “hydro“ should be marked, except the term “hydrocarbon“.

Temporary synonym groups

Using the feature "Add search phrases to highlighting", search terms of a text search are included in a temporary synonym group.

This way the search terms are highlighted until the next search is performed.

When a new search is performed, the temporary synonym group is replaced by a new group containing the new search terms.
By clicking on the clock icon next to the group name the temporary group can be saved permanently.

Upper and lower case

Individual terms can be marked as "case sensitive".
By doing so, upper case and lower case is considered.
Use right click on the desired word to activate this feature.

Selection

It is possible to activate and deactivate specific terms in a synonym group.
The box must be checked, in order for the term to be highlighted.
Entire synonym groups can be activated or deactivated.
