This article will provide the difference between the Search field and the Keywords search within Cortex.
Using the "Search" field in Cortex:
Program users can search Cortex applications by the following application data:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Medical School Name
- Hometown
To use the Search function in Thalamus type one of the above data points into the search bar. It will bring up all applications that have that data point.
Ex: Type Chris into the search bar, and your list view will now have everyone who has "Chris" in those fields.
Using the Keywords in Cortex:
Program users can create a keyword search in their uploaded applications. For the steps on how to set that up, refer to: Creating a Keyword Search in Cortex
Cortex automatically scans the Personal Statement in the application for each Keyword provides a total number of how many times the keyword was found.
When a program has created a keyword search, in each application snapshot you will see a keyword count and break down of those words and their frequency.
Note: that if you type these words into the search bar, they will not bring up those applications.
