Is there a way to tell NDC to re-classify all documents that are tagged with a specific term? One of the pain-points I have is trying to eliminate false-positives after altering Clues for a specific term. I don’t want to have to re-classify everything, just those items that I know will be updated based on the Clue changes.

Hi Marc,

Pleasure to meet you,

Yes this is possible, to simply re-classify a specific term after making changes to the clues, right-click the term and select the option ‘Reclassify Tagged’, example in the screenshot.

This option will only target and re-process the current classified files associated and tagged to the term.

Optionally, you may want to use ‘Reclassify Term’ - This will re-scan the entire index. This is useful when working with ‘False Negatives’, files that should have been classified but were missed due to achieving a score below the threshold.

If you have never used this, on the ‘Browse’ switch the view to ‘Near Misses’ and select the percentage to review any potential false negatives,
