Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question: Can my colleague see the searches I have saved? Answer: No, searches are linked to your personal user account and are not visible to others within your organization.

Question: Can I turn off email notifications for a specific search query? Answer: No, the notification settings apply to all saved search queries. You can turn notifications on or off for the entire set of search queries.

Troubleshooting

  • Symptom: You cannot locate any results even though you are certain that a keyword is contained within a document.

    • Cause: You are likely using a combination of words that is too specific.

    • Solution: Use separate keywords (e.g., "velux" and "skylights" separately) instead of a compound search term.

  • Symptom: You are not receiving email notifications for new projects.

    • Cause: Notifications are not enabled in your account settings.

    • Solution: Go to Account > Notifications and check if the option for email notifications for saved searches is selected.
