all about flawless Text Sleuthing.
General
Can I sort my results chronologically?
Yes! You have the option to arrange the results either in ascending or descending order based on “Created At” or “Recorded Date.”
Can I export as a run sheet?
Not yet! We are working on an Excel format export of the results.
Can I see it on the map or search based on legal?
Use Atla! (maybe eventually we will merge functionality)
How do I do more complex searches? Can I layer searches?
To amp up your search, try two methods: use the “Advanced” search filters or link phrases with the ‘+’ symbol. For instance, connect “Tumbleweed Royalty” and “Mineral Deed” using ‘+’ for precise results.
What are ”tags” and what are “queues”?
Tags are user-group accessible labels that you can attach and remove to documents returned in you search result set. The intent is for this to be a way to “package” the results of multiple different queries into one result set.
Queues are a dStill abstraction for managing work tasks and have no value for FTS users.
Can clients upload and search their own documents in FTS?
Yes! Client accounts can be configured so that they can upload their own documents and also bring tabular metadata with those documents.
