Walk-Through Video
Standard vs. Locked Saved Searches
Standard: the saved search remains “dynamic,” or continues to update results based on the criteria of the saved search. For example, if a search is based on tag activity, the results will change as tags are added or removed. Similarly, If a search is based on document characteristics (metadata or keywords), the results will change as new documents are uploaded into the project.
Locked: the saved search results are a snapshot of the results based on the criteria when the saved search was run and locked. Instead of running a search based on the criteria as in a Standard Saved Search, a Locked Saved Search recalls a static list of the Logikcull Document IDs.
Family Inclusion and Review Set Options for Locked Saved Searches 🔒
Locking a saved search is required for family inclusion and review sets.
Include families (checkbox): adds family members that are related to, but not part of, the current search results.
Split into review sets: splits results into batches that can be assigned to users for review. Enter the number of review sets (batches) to be created. The average document count per set is also provided.
ℹ️ To learn more about creating review sets and assigning them to other users, see 🔗 Assigning Documents to Review Sets
Access batch review sets: Once documents have been split into review sets, you can access them by clicking into the Saved Search, expanding via drop-down Arrow on the left, and clicking the "Review Sets (#)" sub-tab.

Important note about filter views and saved searches
⚠️ The deduplication filter view and culled/unculled filter view are each saved as parameters in a saved search. For example, if you are in the Global Dedupe view and you run a saved search that was saved in the No Dedupe view, the filter view will update to reflect the parameters of the saved search. However, if you run a saved search using the Advanced Search Builder, the filter view will NOT be updated automatically. The best practice is to limit use of the Advanced Search Builder to saved searches that all share the same filter view.
Locking an existing search
Under the list of saved searches created hover over the hamburger icon and selecting "Lock" from the drop-down. When locking a previously unlocked search, you will also be given the option to include families and/or designate review sets.
Once your saved search is locked, you will then see a locked icon for the saved search:
