16. Preferences

Intella Connect Preferences can be accessed by clicking on the gear icon in the Secondary Navigation Bar.

Preferences icon

Preferences window allow one to manage various settings related to Intella Connect.

16.1. Global preferences

Global preferences are further divided into two sections:

Table view
  • Visible Columns - section where Visible Columns of the Details table can be added or removed
  • Rows height - section where row height of the Details table column can be configured
List view

  • Keywords Hit Highlighting - turning Hit Highlighting on or off


    Note: These setting are saved in your browser’s cache. Therefore if you use few browsers simultaneously, few computers (devices) or you have cleaned your cached data, then you might need to change those settings again.

16.2. Coding Layout preferences

This sheet allows you to manage your global Coding Layouts.

The first set of controls allows to select an existing layout from the dropdown in order to modify it. Clicking on the Add button allows to create a new layout. After layout is selected additional set of controls is shown on the left, and a Live preview pane is shown on the right. By adding, modifying or changing fields on the left one will immediately see results of his actions in the panel on the right.


Note: Fields list supports dragging its elements, which changes the order of Coding Fields as they appear in the layout.

Each Coding Field has the following options:

  • Tag - specifies a tag from the current case to which the Coding Field will be mapped.
  • Type - specifies how the field will be rendered and how will it work. Possible options are:
    • CHECKBOX (default) - field is rendered as a checkbox control. Hierarchical tags will allow for many Coding Options to be selected.
    • RADIO (requires a hierarchical tag) - field is rendered as a set of radio buttons. Each Coding Option will represent one radio button. This component will force user to select just one of available choices.
    • DROPDOWN (requires a hierarchical tag) - field is rendered as a dropdown (also known as “Select” or “Combo box”). Each Coding Option will represent one element in the list. This component will force user to select just one of available choices.
  • Required - if this option is ON then reviewer will be forced to make a coding decision about this field.
  • Show hint - if this option is ON then a small icon will be rendered next to the field in the Coding Form. Hovering mouse over this icon will show a tag’s description in a tooltip. This can be some auxiliary text for reviewers.
  • Optional parent (works only with checkboxes and hierarchical tags) - if this option is ON then this field will also render a checkbox next to the top-level tag.

16.3. Background tasks


Note: The background tasks sheet will be visible only to users with “Can manage background tasks” permission.

This sheet allows one to manage Background tasks. Those are long running tasks executed in the background which means that the case can be reviewed at the same time.

Currently two types of Background tasks are supported:
  • Thumbnails pre-generation - generates thumbnails in order to speed up Thumbnails view loading
  • PDFs pre-generation - generates PDFs in order to speed up native previewing in Previewer

Only one background task per case is executed at once. When a new background task is created it is added to the queue.


Important:

The UI will report only the number of processed items. For exceptions a case log needs to be examined. The plan is to improve this in one of the future Intella Connect versions.

16.3.1. Thumbnails pre-generation

Cases that rely heavily on viewing collections of images in the Thumbnail view will benefit from pre-generating the thumbnail images in advance especially when dealing with digital camera images that each are multiple megabytes in size.

The time needed to generate the thumbnail image can make the Thumbnails view loading appear sluggish. When the thumbnails have been pre-generated, the time needed to populate the view will be a lot faster and it will be constant with regard to the number of visible images, i.e. the file size of the original image is no longer a factor.

To pre-generate the thumbnail images, click on the “Add new” button. The dialog for adding new Background tasks will be shown. Select the desired tag, “Thumbnail pre-generation” task type and press “Ok”.

The “Thumbnail pre-generation” background task will be added to the queue.

The thumbnails generation process can be cancelled at any point by deleting already added Background task. The thumbnail images that have been generated will be kept.

16.3.2. PDFs pre-generation

Cases that rely heavily on viewing of documents will benefit from pre-generating of the PDFs for native view previewing.

To pre-generate native view PDFs, click on the “Add new” button. The dialog for adding new Background tasks will be shown. Select the desired tag, “PDF pre-generation” task type and press “Ok”.

The “PDF pre-generation” background task will be added to the queue.

The PDFs generation process can be cancelled at any point by deleting already added Background task. The PDFs that have been generated will be kept.
