History overview

The History Tracker shows the active filters and the user’s browsing interactions with the system (search, filtering by entity, time or metadata (e. g. classification level) and opened documents. The user can use the view to interact (remove) filters. The history view is situated on the top of the New/s/leak main window. Click image to enlarge.)

Full History

Per default, the history view shows only the active filters and the opened documents. A click on the “Full history” checkbox (see red box) shows/hides the full user action history. If this list is very long, it can be scrolled.

Interacting with active filters in the history view

The user can use the history view for removing the active filters. The user can use two ways:

1. Remove individual filters by clicking on the x-button in the top-right corner of the active filter
2. Remove all active filters by clicking on the x-icon (see red box).

Save and load history

The user can stop the exploration process and save the performed exploration actions using the save history feature. This saved history can be loaded for reproducing the exploration path or for continuing the document exploration at a different time point. The save and load history buttons are in the history view available as the red arrows (down=save, up=load).
