Document Viewer

The document viewer enables you to view the text of documents in your dataset along with various document attributes such as relevance and group membership.  You can use the document viewer to add notes to documents and view notes and document markings others have created.  

If you have a translation engine installed on your system or server, you can use the integrated translation capabilities of IN-SPIRE to translate and view documents in both the original language and a language of your choice.

Restoring Viewed Documents

IN-SPIRE will keep track of which documents you have viewed since the time you opened the dataset by displaying a checkmark in the Viewed column of the Document Viewer.  Sometimes you will want to abandon the information about which documents you viewed during your current session.  To revert to the list of documents viewed at the start of your session, from the IN-SPIRE main toolbar File menu select Clear Document Viewed Status.  The list of all documents you have viewed since the start of your session will be deleted.  The documents themselves will not be deleted, just the information about whether you have viewed them or not.
