Using History on Nexis

The History panel on the home page and the History drop-down menu from the global navigation bar include Searches, and Documents.

The Searches and Documents, tabs have the 5 most recently viewed searches.

Click View all history to open your full History in list format to see all searches, document views, and deliveries.

When you click a link to return to a search or a previously viewed document, Nexis runs a new search or retrieves the document again, so even though you are accessing from your History you always see the most up to date search results or document. If you re-run a search from your History that had pre-search filters in the original search, the filters are applied and are visible under the Narrow By and the pre-search filter area in the search field along with your original search terms. Post-search filters are not applied and do not display in the List view of History, but you can see post-search filters in the Research Map.

When you click a link for a Print, Download, or Email item you have the ability to retrieve your previously delivered items. If you delivered documents to a LexisNexis printer, you can redeliver those documents for 90 days. If you emailed documents, you can download the documents from the Email item for 90 days. If you delivered documents to an attached printer or download, those documents are available for redelivery for 1 day.

Items remain in History for 90 days and are accessible for 90 days.

 Search Within History

You can search for specific items in your History using Search Within History.

A search in Search Within History only searches the item title in the History list and does not search the full text of any documents associated with that item, such as a document viewed or a document included in a search results list.

 Narrow By Filters

You can filter your History under Narrow By with the following filters:

• Date
• Type
• Client
• Originated

Click the desired item under a filter heading in the Narrow By pane on the left. You can use multiple filters simultaneously. If you want to use multiple choices for a specific filter, click Select multiple, select the filters you want to apply and click OK.

You can remove individual filters applied by clicking the X next to the filter name in the blue shaded box under Narrow By. Click Clear to remove all filters.

Use the Originated filter to narrow your History by product, service or Experience. The available choices include:

• Research
• LexisNexis^® Verdict & Settlement Analyzer
• Lexis Medical Navigator^®

 Client

But when you retrieve an item from History and the original client does not match the current client you selected, the service prompts you to view the document or run the search with the current client or with the original client.

If you select the current client, the service displays the search or document view as a separate item in History assigned to the current client. The service still displays the item assigned to the original client in History.

You cannot change the client assigned to items in History.

 Document Delivery from History

You can print your History through your browser. Click Printer-friendly view to open your History in a new browser tab or window and click Print.

You cannot print full text documents through History. You must open the document from History and deliver the documents. You have to open the documents 1 at a time to deliver the documents.

Document Delivery to LexisNexis Printers are available for redelivery from History for 90 days. All other delivery methods, i.e., attached printer, email, download, are available for redelivery for 1 day. These methods still appear in History with links but clicking on the link does not redeliver the documents.
