Set of Hits Management

[Former Member]

I was trying to use sets of Hits Management . I saved two "save search criteria" . Whenever I try to run those sets , I am not getting option of selecting two and only the last saved sets of hits is displayed .

any help ?

Dear Krishna

Ralf and Mark provided the most important topics. Therefore

a.) with one option you manage "static" hit list

b.) with the other option you managed the "search" steps

You need to pay attention on this "only":

a.) for the "search" option the "key date" might be an important input and therefore the result is depending on that (for hit list may be the same; not sure)

b.) for both options: you can add further nodes in both "trees". You need "only" to pay attention that you consider access rights. In most cases set up is like this:

You have "private" hit list/Queries; and you have "public" hit list/queries"; but you can manage more (based on the folders which you can generate)

On top you need to understand that the hit list is "fast" (as it is simply as explained a static number of specifications) thereas the "query" can be slow depending on the steps you use.

But both options add clearly a lot of benefit in daily use of EHS

Hi Krishna,

don't save the search criteria but the hitlist (Utilities - Set of hits - Save). That's what you want, right?

yes .going through utilities I am able to save and choose later on but the "save search criteria button " on specification tool bar is only saving the last one and it is not giving me option to save more hit list and execute . any idea ?

Krishna,

you can only save one search criterion. That's why you shouldn't save this, but the hit list. You can save dozens, if not hundreds of hit lists but only one search criterion.

so "Save Search Criteria will save only one criteria right "

Also we have two options of saving option .

one is Utilities > Query > Load/Save

and  Utilities > Set of Hits > Load /Save .

Looks like both functionality is same . Any idea whats the difference and which one we usually use for saving our search results ?

Regards,

Krishna

Krishna,

If you want to save the search results you have to save the hit list (set of hits).

looks like the only difference is Validity as query ask for validity information before loading the saved queries .

You can safe as many searches as you want:

And each saved search can contain as many search steps as you want - and can even contains previous saved searches as shown here:

In other words:

You can safe exactly all the search steps that got you to your hit list.

Therefore it is quite a powerful and useful tool in my opinion!

No!

The set of hits is a fix list of hits. It will never change. If it contains 111 hits today it will have 111 hits tomorrow and 11 years later.

The saved search however will produce different hit list based on the data in the system.

So if your search turn up 111 hits for a certain phrase "XYZ" today it might produce a hit list with 113 entries a week later if two more specifications have now the phrase "XYZ" maintained.

Hope this makes things clear
