Search – Fast Saving – Term List: Jump to top
This is a release focusing on various performance and usability improvements.
Best – your Coreon Team!
More Accurate, Faster Search
When querying repositories, it sometimes took quite a bit of time until
the result set has been generated and rendered in the browser. It was
mainly related to the fact that too much candidate hits have been found
in the database, and all these candidates had to be processed. We have
now improved the algorithm in a few aspects:
When sending a multiword query as a request (i.e. not a single word, but, say, in the Eurovoc repository something like water pollution Europe), the response time is significantly shorter.
When the query contains a number, then the response is faster and also more accurate. Up to today numbers have been treated as a replaceable, like a parameter. Now when searching for, say, Boeing 737, you will first find exactly the concept where the term
ends with … 737. Before, all terms ending with a number (Boeing 737, …747, …777) etc. have been found. Now the rating respects the number as it is stored as a string and queried.
Faster Saving of Large Concepts
“Large Concepts”? Well, we mean concepts that contain many languages, many terms, many properties.
When updating and saving such concepts, for instance by adding another synonym, changing a term property, the Save operation admittedly took sometimes very long.
We have addressed this now – many weeks of development work involved by reworking the underlying data indexing and retrieval mechanisms.
Term List: Jump to top
When scrolling the list of terms, and scrolling down further and further, then you wanted to go back to the top … this required to scroll up and up and up. Now a
little, simple button simply allows you to quickly jump to the top of the list.
Various UX Improvements
We are very happy to have a new UI development team member on board. And first contributions made it already into this product update:
- Concept Map: When zooming in / zooming out: sometimes the node’s label was overlapping the concept icon. This has been fixed, the readability is better.
- A property with a set of values (such as several comments or definitions) is rendered as multiple tabs : When hovering over the next tab, now a quick tooltip is shown as a preview. Thus – for instance when comparing the values – you are no longer required to click each of the tabs. You first get a tooltip preview.
Miscellaneous
- TBX mode in UI: creating new concepts with mandatory properties was not yet fully supported. This has been resolved.
- TBX mode in UI: creating aliases was not yet supported. This functionality has been added now.
- Many filters: Sometimes the list of available filters can get very long. Thus they should be sorted alphabetically by name. This has now been improved. Both private and shared filters are now alphabetically sorted.
