Update from Ovid

“Dear Ovid Customer:
As we continue to incorporate user feedback into the Ovid platform, we are pleased to announce that you will have early access to new Ovid search sharing features starting December 8th. These features help you seamlessly share search strategies with colleagues, allowing the recipient to rerun the search with one click. Please check it out and let us know what you think!

You will see three new buttons in the Search History Panel: Email All Search History, Copy Search History Link, and Copy Search History Details.

The additional features do not affect any existing workflows on Ovid. They allow you to more easily copy, share, and collaborate on searches.

Key functionality includes:

  • Email All Search History: Allows you to send your current search history to another user via email. The email includes the search strategy with line numbers and number of results, the database segment(s), the date the search was executed, the link to run the search, and a message from the sender.
  • Copy Search History Link: Copies search history link to your clipboard. The recipient must have access to the database the search was created in to rerun the search.
  • Copy Search History Details: Copies the search strategy, line numbers, number of results per line, and database segment(s) to your clipboard.

Please note that the search history URL will not contain any custom access prefix.”
