Using Speci-Finder for Invitations

Viewing matches from an invitation

You can use the Speci-Finder for Invitation function to quickly identify if there is a match within project documents on an invited project.

Click ‘Access Documentation’ from the invitation email:

Once you’re in the project details, you can easily identify if there is a match for your keyword in the project by looking for the ‘View keywords’ link below the project name.

Click the link, or head straight to the ‘Keywords’ tab. If there are matches for your Speci-Finder keyword within the project documents, you’ll see a preview of the results and the document it has been found in will be noted in the ‘Document’ column.

You can then view or download the documents for the full details.

If no keyword matches are found in a project, it will be noted in the Keywords section, and the ‘View keywords’ link will be missing from under the project name.

Viewing matches from the Invitations & Requests tab

Your invitations are listed on E1 under the Invitations & Requests tab.

We will highlight projects that contain a match for your keywords with the Speci-Finder icon, so you can identify best fit projects at a glance.

Hover over the icon to see which keyword is a match, and click the project name to open the Keywords detail section.
