About these guides

These guides describe Sequality version 0.1.0. Each one names the controls as the interface names them, and says what a feature does not do as well as what it does. Everything described here is built and tested; work that is planned is marked as planned.

The workflow follows one principle: SI proposes, versioned code validates, the examiner decides.

Reading order

Start with Getting started and Sign-in and roles. The case guides follow the order of the work: the case and its claim features, the search plan, the references, follow-up suggestions, the search summary, and the shortlist. The search guides cover searches you run outside a case, what a result shows, and the sequence tools. The list of guides follows that order.

Documentation pages

• Getting started
  The application frame of Sequality, its sidebar and navigation, Jump to, the color scheme control, and how faults are told apart from empty results.
• Sign-in and roles
  How you sign in to Sequality through your organization's identity provider, and what examiners, sequence searchers and supervisors can do.
• Cases and claim features
  Create a case from an application's documents, read what was extracted, and accept, reject or revise the claim features proposed for it.
• Search plans
  How the rule-based planner recommends searches for the accepted claim features, how you decide on each item, and how accepted items are sent.
• Searching
  Run interactive and deep searches, choose databases, exclude the application's own filing, and find past searches. Includes the short-query limits.
• Results and evidence classes
  What a search's result page shows, what each evidence class means, how lanes and views work, and how incomplete and failed searches are stated.
• References and claim coverage
  How a case's hits are rolled up to references, how claim coverage is decided, and how references are ordered, grouped and explained.
• Follow-up suggestions
  How rule-based follow-up suggestions are made from a case's stored state, how you decide on them, and how accepted ones reach a new plan version.
• Summary and closing a case
  Compose the cited search summary from the case record, edit it in new versions, adopt it, close the case, and export the case record.
• Shortlist and export
  Keep references and hits together on a case's shortlist, and export results, shortlists and case records through templates and one redaction stage.
• Sequence editor
  Open, edit, transform and save query sequences in the Sequences editor, and send one to a search.
• Legacy result import
  Import GenCore 6, BLAST and CSV result files you already have into a case, and read how their hits are classed and rolled up.
