Effective March 31, 2021, new Ovid search sharing features have been made available for users. These features will help users seamlessly share search strategies with colleagues, allowing the recipient to rerun the search with one click.
Users will see three new buttons in the Search History Panel: Email All Search History, Copy Search History Link, and Copy Search History Details:
Key Functionality Includes:
- Email All Search History: allows users to send their current search history to another user via email. The email includes the search strategy with line numbers and number of results, database segment(s), the date the search was executed, a link to run the search, and a message from the sender.
