    New Features

    Search with multiselect

    Ketl now allows you to select results from a search and perform actions on them. This feature is particularly useful when you need to classify multiple documents at once.

    multi-select-image

    By clicking on the document icon on the search page, you can start to select several documents. Once you have selected the documents, you can choose from the following actions:

    • Open filing
    • Attach to an email
    • Download
    • Delete

    Fixes & Minor Changes

    • Improved the selection of document types in filing to be more user-friendly.

    We have worked hard to enhance your user experience, focusing on "quality of life" modifications for the features you use most often. We hope you enjoy these changes as much as we do!

    New Features

    Frequent Filters

    Frequently used filters are now quickly accessible in the dropdown menu of the “+ Filters” button.

    File Uploads

    When you “drag and drop” files onto ketl, a convenient new menu opens to let you handle these files without going through the often-cluttered inbox.

    alt

    Improvements

    Classification Inbox

    The inbox interface has been revamped for greater responsiveness and simplicity.

    Opening it and performing searches are now significantly faster. The stability when classifying a large number of documents has been greatly improved.

    The number of documents to classify is no longer displayed: it has been removed to reduce stress related to notifications and for performance and security reasons.

    Search results can be sorted by any date type present in your documents.

    alt

    Additionally, you can set default values in Settings, under the "Preferences" section:

    alt

    PowerPoint and Excel Templates

    PowerPoint (.pptx) and Excel (.xlsx) formats are now partially supported with template management. Handy for distributing standard documents within your organization!

    Search Results Export

    You can now export your search results without applying a single active filter. This is useful if, for example, you want to quickly generate a list of the latest classified files.

    Fixes & Minor Changes

    • Scrolling on a PDF during classification no longer erroneously applies to other documents displayed afterward.
    • PDF scrolling status is now correctly stored when switching tabs.
    • When splitting a PDF, the list of documents to classify only shows the files resulting from the split. Once they are classified or when clicking the “Back” button, the current file list is displayed.

    • File uploads on the "Documents" page now automatically refresh the folder tree.
    • The folder selection window no longer displays an error message systematically for certain users.
    • An explicit error message is shown when a user tries to create a folder with an invalid name.

  • Welcome to the new Ketl

    alt

    Today, we are revealing the result of many weeks of work redesigning Ketl’s interface.

    Our brand-new unified search and refined visual elements provide a more intuitive and immersive user experience. Dive into the future of productivity with features designed to make every interaction smoother and more impactful.

    Unified Search

    We've spent the last couple of months rebuilding search from the ground up. The UI has been refined. We've improved how we display results as well as the accuracy, for instance for words split with / or _. You can now reliably use "phrase matching", -negative keywords AND boolean operators in your search queries.

    Not only that, but results will show projects, clients, and dates as well as events.

    We created a dedicated page with all the details about the new search: View here

    alt

    What's New

    • Find information that relates to a subject.
    • Search options from extracted information.
    • Any type of information available to use as a description.
    • New option to search by name only.
    • New Show archived option.
    • Persistent Filters, ability to set filters as persistent.
    • More actions for each search result

    Filters

    Filters in Ketl help you find the results that are relevant to you. We have made filters even more powerful and flexible by re-engineering them from the ground up. We now allow more types of filters and ways to combine them. The interface for creating filters has also been redesigned to make adding filters faster and smoother.

    alt

    With our new filters, you can now include or exclude part of a filter, combine filters together to show views with all or any filters applied. To use different operators and refine queries, click on parts of the filter formula to modify it.

    We have also added date filters that let you match projects by when they were created, updated, completed, or when they're due. See issue before or after a certain date or combine filters to view date ranges.

    What's New

    • Quick filters
    • Negative filters
    • Combine filters
    • Multiple operators

    Brand new sidebar

    alt

    New Period component

    We rebuilt our Period component that is used in Filing. This new implementation uses Radix primitives and React-aria under the hood. Using these libraries made our period component compatible with W3C accessibility requirements, enhanced keyboard support for navigating between dates, and made all elemets to match a currently selected interface theme.

    More accessibility improvements are coming, stay tuned.

    alt

    New Recent searches

    Together with the new search, we have added your recent searches to be available in your search bar options, the development on this feature will continue so in the future you can create you own custom saved searches.
