Magnify Enhancements

In this section:

Magnify is an Enterprise Search solution that helps users find business content across the entire organization and then understand that information using Business Intelligence. Users are provided a single entry point to search structured and unstructured data stored in nearly any location. The Magnify search page is a simple and interactive user interface that dynamically categorizes search results with various navigation, sorting, and viewing options, such as analyzing search results in a tabular format with the added ability to chart and filter an array of metrics and dimensions. Users can access real-time information by drilling down on links to WebFOCUS reports.

Enhanced Magnify XML Output to Include Word Cloud and Category Tree Data

Word Cloud data is returned in a WC element that includes the count and word attributes. Each attribute contains a comma-separated list where the parallel order between count and word correlate. This means that the first word has a count of the first number listed.

Category Tree data is returned in a CT element with a CAT sub-element for each Category field with attributes for the source field name (fieldname) and the text to display in the interface (displayname). Each Category field has VAL sub-elements for each of the Category values (name) and the corresponding counts (count).
