Annotation Explorer

The Annotation Explorer shows extracted fields in the Span Attribute Value column. You can also see the text from the left and right of the extracted text, which is known as the left and right context.

Results are displayed in the Annotation Explorer in five columns:
Input Document
The file name of the data collection, which can be the actual file name or an internally used identifier.
Left Context
The 50 characters before the span value.
Span Attribute Value
The actual text of the span.

A span is a built-in type of Text Analytics. The span type represents a contiguous range of characters in a text field of the document. For example, the Span output, Document.text[1665-1673]: '466-9196' , represents Characters 1665-1673 of the text field of Document. This range of characters corresponds to the string 466-9196 in the original document.

Right Context
The 50 characters after the span value.
Span Attribute Name
The name of the output view and the field name of the span, separated by a period.
From the Annotation Explorer, you can:

Pagination in Annotation Explorer

You can display the results in Annotation Explorer as a set of pages. Pagination is based on the number of input documents whose results must be displayed in a page. Pagination can be set from a projet Properties window by right-clicking on a project, and then clicking Properties > BigInsights > Text Analytics.

Page information is displayed at the top of the Annotation Explorer view. There are two fields:
Number of rows
The number of rows on the page, displayed in the format <x>/<y> , where x is the number of rows that are visible when a filter is active, and y is the number of rows available in that page.
Showing page x of y
Showing the page x of y , in this case, x is the current page number and y is the total number of pages.

Page navigation controls are available in the upper right section of the view.

► Go to next page

◄ Go to previous page

Page navigation is synchronized across annotation explorers and any open result table views. Changing the page in any of these views also causes a page change in the other views too. Any open result tree views are closed.
