New Functionality for IntraIntelligence

Dialog has made improvements to several tools–Dialog Intranet Toolkit 1.22 and Monitor Version 2.0. Using the new capability of Toolkit 1.22, users can now select sections of a market research report from a table of contents. Also, with the improved Saved Strategy Tool, output results can be displayed in any pre-defined format available in the Dialog file being searched. Dialog Monitor 2.0 is now more flexible and easy to install and provides enhanced administrative features.

Improved Saved Strategy Tool
The Saved Strategy Tool is a component of the Dialog Intranet Toolkit that allows professional searchers to store powerful Dialog command searches on the DialogClassic system and then create a hyperlink to that search. These powerful searches can then be incorporated into a custom solution providing users with the best search results because experts have created the queries. This release has improved the Saved Strategy Tool by increasing the flexibility of output options. Previously, title lists and results using the Saved Strategy Tool were limited to a single format option. This release allows results to be displayed in any pre-defined format available in the Dialog file(s) being used.

Dialog Monitor
Dialog continues to improve Monitor, its intranet delivery tool. Monitor 2.0 is easier to install and administer and addresses the critical need for timely delivery of relevant information throughout an organization. The Monitor software builds and organizes Web pages so you can deliver Dialog search and Alert output to designated locations on your company’s intranet, enabling work groups to access the most up-to-date, relevant information. Monitor is automated so after set-up it requires little day-to-day maintenance. Monitor allows information professionals to tailor Alerts to meet exact corporate needs in order to maintain a competitive advantage.

Monitor Version 2.0 improvements include:

• Compatibility with Microsoft Exchange server
• Ease of installation and ability to run in a variety of customer server environments
• Flexible upgrade and hosting capabilities
• More descriptive e-mail notification messages
• Enhanced administrative features

Information can include Alerts on business news, the latest scientific and engineering journal stories, or competitor’s intellectual property status to help businesses stay competitive and improve strategic and tactical decision-making.

To learn more, or view a demonstration, contact a Dialog sales representative. Monitor can also be included as part of an IntraIntelligence intranet solution from our Custom Solutions group. Your Dialog sales representative can demonstrate a variety of sample solutions.
