About the WISE-searcher Web Client Plugin

Introduction

This plugin is part of the WISE (Workplace Items Sharing Enhancement) Tool Set developed as a result of feedback and suggestions from the i2b2 users community in the University of Massachusetts Medical School. As its name implies, the purpose of this tool set is to facilitate and enhance the sharing of the items or objects in the Workplace panel of the i2b2 web client; to the extend that unnecessary repetitions of preious works can be prevented or minimized.

This plugin provides the following main functions:

  1. Finds all Workplace items / objects (folders, queries, patient sets, etc.) containing the terms provided (in either their annotations or their names), in the conditions selected.
  2. Tabulates such found items (with their corresponding icons) in the alphabetical order of their paths.
  3. Optionally exports aforementioned tabulated data (without the item icons) into an Excel spreadsheet file or / and a CSV file conveniently.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to the "Specify Search" tab. Enter the comma-separated search terms into the input text area.
  2. Select the appropriate Match option radio button.
  3. Finally, click the "Result" tab to view the tabulated search result.
