Managing Users and Seats
Managing users is a straightforward process. Users are not permanently assigned to seats and they can be shuffled around. Therefore managing users and seats is divided into two distinct operations.

Saving Searches & Setting Alerts
If you work on a specific search query, you'll want to save it so you can use it again in the future. AcclaimIP supports a feature where you can save searches for easy recall later.
I personally use the feature to save all my base queries. A base query is a search that contains all the keywords and strings that describe one specific aspect of an invention. I strongly recommend you build a library of relevant base queries, and save them to a folder called "Base Queries." In this example, I expose my NFC base query. I use this as my starting point when searching any technology related to NFC (Near Field Communications), and I never have to research all the terms which mean "NFC;" I just load my saved search.

Finding Similar Documents by Class Fingerprinting
AcclaimIP offers another method for finding similar documents using a class profiling technique.
The logic is simple. If, for example, your source patent is classified in one primary (Original) class and cross references another four classifications, doesn't it stand to reason that patents with the most similar class profiles will also be similar to the target patent?
This technique is possible because AcclaimIP's search engine is aware of each classification's relative position in its hierarchy including all parent and children classes.

Research Folders Overview
Research folders store two types of data.
- Saved Searches.
- Patent Documents.
Research Folders can hold up to 50,000 documents each depending on the plan you signed up for. They can be shared with other members of your team, and even with users outside your company as long as they also have an AcclaimIP account.
Research Folders are more than just a place to store the results of your searches. AcclaimIP's advanced syntax gives you the ability to find unions, intersections and differences between folders and are in themselves analysis tools.
The contents of Folders can be charted together giving you the ability to chart two portfolios across the same dimensions for comparative charts.
