The Term Discovery dashboard lets you quickly see which terms your writers use and how. Acrolinx automatically filters out duplicate terms or variants that you would otherwise have to validate manually. You can also export your discovered terms to add them to your terminology database.
To open the Term Discovery dashboard, go to Reporting > Analytics. You'll find Term Discovery under Guidance.

Latest check |
By default, the Latest check parameter is selected. When Latest check is selected,the dashboard shows only the most recent check results for each document. If you deselect the Latest check parameter, the dashboard will show all the check results for your documents within the selected time range. You might want to be careful when deselecting Latest check. The results based on all checks could be misleading. For example, a discovered term might appear more common than it actually is, because a particular document has been checked more frequently. |
