Requires Synthetic Documents - Add/Edit Permission

A Synthetic Document enables you to perform similarity comparisons. You create a Synthetic Document to contain text that represents the type of content you want to find in a target view of data.

To create a Synthetic Document, define the properties and then click OK.

When you edit a Synthetic Document, you can edit the name and/or description in this dialog. Use the Synthetic Document tab to edit the Synthetic Document content and/or add a comment.

Synthetic Document Options

• (required) – Assign a descriptive name for the new Synthetic Document. A Synthetic Document name must be unique. It cannot have the same name as a view in the Project. The name is subject to validation upon creation or edit. The name can include alphanumeric characters, spaces between characters in the name (leading and trailing spaces are ignored), and some supported characters (such as a hyphen, underscore, and apostrophe). During validation, the software will also allow characters from foreign languages (for example, Korean characters). However, the following characters are not supported for Synthetic Document names and will generate an error message indicating that your entry contains invalid characters:

! " # $ % & * + . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ { | } ~ “ ”

Note: These character restrictions apply to most tree items, such as Imports, Exports, Tags, Folders, Saved Searches, Workflows, Comparisons, Samples, and Synthetic Documents. To support auto-discovery of Custodians based on staging, a Custodian name has fewer restrictions regarding invalid characters.

• – An optional and helpful description that helps explain the purpose of the Synthetic Document.
• – Issues a request to add the Synthetic Document.
• Cancel – Cancels the creation of the Synthetic Document.
