Annotation fields

Nuix 'Annotation' fields contain information added by investigators or reviewers. This section details these fields in alphabetic order, with working examples of each.

automatic-classifier | cluster | comment | custodian | document-id | exclusion | export-rules-applied | faces | face-confidence | has-comment | has-custodian | has-exclusion | has-item-set | has-print-preview | has-print-preview-markup | has-production-set | has-tag | is-item-original | item-set | item-set-batch | item-set- duplicates | item-set-originals | markup-set | number-valid | print-preview | production-set | production-set-guid | scored | score-confidence | tag

automatic-classifier

Use the automatic-classifier field to search for items associated with the given automatic classifier. The parameters are classifier, classifier subset, and classification. They are separated by semicolons and are all optional. If a parameter is omitted, it is treated as a "match all" filter.

Available options for classifier subsets are training, automatically-classified and skipped. Additionally, use 'auto' as an alias for automatically-classified. Examples:

Query string

Results

automatic-classifier:"classifier1;training;relevant"

Matches items marked as relevant training items for the classifier "classifier1".

automatic-classifier:"classifier1;automatically-classified"

Matches all items automatically classified by the classifier "classifier1" regardless of classification.

automatic-classifier:"classifier1;;irrelevant"

Matches all items identified as irrelevant by the classifier "classifier1", that is, both training items and automatically classified items.

automatic-classifier:";automatically-classified;relevant"

Matches all items automatically classified as relevant regardless of the classifier used.

automatic-classifier:";auto;relevant"

automatic-classifier:";;"

Matches all items which form any part of any automatic classifier.

 

cluster

Use the cluster field to search for clustered items using up to three parameters. The parameters are cluster run name, cluster name, and pivot status. They are separated by semicolons and are all optional. If a parameter is omitted, it is treated as a "match all" filter.

Examples:

Query string

Results

cluster:investigation23

Matches items clustered during the cluster run "investigation23".

cluster:inv*

Matches items clustered during a cluster run beginning with "inv".

cluster:investigation23;568

Matches items belonging to the 568th cluster in cluster run "investigation23".

cluster:investigation\ 23;568

cluster:"investigation 23;568"

Matches items belonging to the 568th cluster in cluster run "investigation 23".

cluster:investigation23;568;pivot

Matches the pivot item of the 568th cluster in cluster run "investigation23".

cluster:investigation23;;pivot

cluster:foobar;ignored

Matches items that were ignored during cluster run "foobar" because they were ineligible to exist in a cluster.

 

comment

Use the comment field to search for text stored in the comments field by users. The text string used for searching is automatically treated as a match on characters rather than a whole word or, in other words, like a multi-character wild card used either side of the search term.

Example:

Query string

Results

comment:bank

Matches items containing the word "bank", "banking", and "embank" in the comments field.

 

custodian

scored

Use the scored field to search for “scored” or predicted items by an Automatic Classifier against a specific classification. This matches both training items and automatically classified items. This field has two parameters: classifier and classification. Both parameters are optional and separated by a semicolon. The omitted parameter(s) is treated as a “match all” filter.

Examples:

Query string

Results

scored:”classifier1;relevant”

Matches items scored as relevant by the classifier "classifier1".

scored:;relevant

Matches all items scored as relevant regardless of the classifier used.

 

score-confidence

Use the score-confidence field to match items with a score confidence (or prediction confidence) created by an Automatic Classifier in the specified range. This matches both training items (if a model has been built), and automatically classified items.

The minimum confidence for an item is 0.5, therefore there matches nothing under this value. Score confidence does not discriminate by classifier name, so you must combine it with the automatic-classifier search field in your search string, if you want to limit it to only one classifier.

Example:

Query string

Results

score-confidence:[0.5 TO 0.6]

Matches all data items with a confidence score between 0.5 and 0.6 inclusive.

 

tag

Use the tag field to search for a specific tag created by a user. If the tag name has any spaces, such as in Not Relevant, you must enclose the tag name in double- quotes. You can also use a minus sign (-) in front of the tag field to exclude a tag from a search. Separate all tags that exist as part of a nested structure by the "|" character.

Examples:

Query string

Results

tag:Pornography

Matches items tagged with the tag named "Pornography".

tag:"Not Relevant"

Matches items tagged with the tag named "Not relevant".

tag:top*

Matches items tagged with a tag beginning with "top", or any sub-tags of such tags.

tag:"top|*"

Matches items tagged under a top-level tag named “top”.
