New features

1. Policy Portal

The ability to search and quickly find the most relevant documents in Policy Portal is crucial. Therefore, we have started a series of improvements to our search to empower users with an improved search experience.

For the full steps on how to search documents in Policy Portal, simply follow the link below to the corresponding article:

How to Search Documents in Policy Portal

1.1 See recent search queries and recently viewed documents

Before starting a search, you will now have access to your previous search history and documents you recently opened. So you can quickly re-execute a successful search query or navigate to the desired document.

You will also be able to manage search history by clearing single items or clearing all history.

1.2 More guided way of using filters

2.gif

Each document in Clausematch, besides its content, has additional metadata (for example: publication date). Now you can use this data in a more guided way to search for the documents.

Using this data in a search will allow you to specify your intent and narrow the search results.

Moreover, you can quickly identify what filters were applied and the available options for these filters.

For each type of metadata, we also provide different search options like All/Any/None/Is Empty, which will help you specify your intent with more granularity.

1.3 Specifying where to search

To reduce the noise and help you find the correct document quicker, we provide a new option that allows you to specify where you want to search: only in the document title or in the titles and the content.

1.4 Advanced text search

If you want to dive into more advanced text search mechanics, now you have a more granular control and can specify:

  • The exact phrase to search by
  • Keywords that should all be presented in documents
  • Keywords where at least one should be presented in the search results
  • And also a list of terms that you think should be excluded from the search results


Bug fixes & improvements

Important bugs that were fixed

Policy Management
