Ovid|SP Online Help

You can organize or manage your search results using My Projects functionality of OvidSP. From the search results display, you can add one, or many search results to a Project.

You can add results to a project in three (3) different ways from the results display:

Add a single item to a project through My Projects icon available on each item

Select multiple items by checking their corresponding checkbox and select Add to My Projects function

When you select Add to My Projects, the Add Items popup window is displayed.

On the Add Item(s) popup window:

To add the selected items to an existing project, select the An Existing Project option and locate on the dropdown menu the project where you want the items added
To add the selected items to a new project, select A New Project option and type the Project Name

For reference purposes, provide a description for the items you are adding to My Projects (optional).

When you are done, click on the Add Item(s) button.

Javascript users can drag and drop items from the results display to a project on the My Projects option on Results Tools

If you drag a result with a checkmark, all selected results will be dragged to the project.

If you drag a result without a checkmark, only that result will be dragged to the project.

From Saved Search Strategy

To save a search strategy to a project, select Save Search History from the Search History window.

Select Type “My Projects” from the Save Search window, and choose the project or folder to which the strategy should be saved.

From AutoAlert Results

When you save a search as an AutoAlert, you may now direct your AutoAlert results to a project, in addition to existing email and RSS options.

Each time the AutoAlert runs, the system will:

Create a new folder, labeled with the date and time of execution, under the designated Project
Each folder will contain a summary file with information about the AutoAlert (date and time run, number of results, databases used, etc.) as well as individual project items created for each matching result in the AutoAlert

To add Auto Alerts to a project:

	1		Select Save Search History from the Search History window. OvidSP opens the Save Search page
	2		Select AutoAlert(SDI) as Type
	3		Check the My Projects delivery option and click on the My Projects tab; from there you can either choose to add it on an existing project, or create a New Project for the AutoAlert
