First test with the new Cited By

Don Awalt

As you may know I am probably the biggest forum complainer about the existing Cited By. So I felt especially guilty with going this long before I posted my comments about the new Cited By. You see though, I had a good reason - I COULDN'T STOP WEEPING IT IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!

Thank you.

One very small suggestion - keeping in mind the scaling problems that necessitated the change, I have over 300 Collections and over 1000 tags. Who knows how many Series I have. Usually, we are searching for something specific. How about incorporating into the Add drop down checkboxes so we can filter what populates - Series, Tags, Ratings, Collections, any or all of the above based on what I select?

Thank you.

<edit> - never mind - reordering working fine between 6.5 and 6.6 - I think I had to reopen Cited By. </edit>

Thank you!

Thank you for letting us know that Cited By is exceeding your expectations.  I have passed the praise on to the developers who worked on this feature.  

Regarding the suggestion, I am passing that through for us to consider moving forward.  Just to clarify, when you mean drop down check boxes, are you referring to the same drop down style as Visual Filters in a resource?

Yes I am, that would be a nice feature and implemented consistently! Thanks for considering it Steve!

Yes - a good suggestion. It could also be applied to the All Resources dropdown in Basic Search

I, too, have complained about this tool, and what we have now is a great improvement. I add my thanks to those of Don.

I would still like to have a way to save a specific layout of the tool. I have different combinations I'd like to use for different types of study and even with this improvement I can't save one I like 'for the next time'.

I know this functionality is not what is usually available for tools like this, but I think I could make the case that this is a unique tool and its use would be greatly improved by adding this feature.

If as a minimum Cited By with its settings would be saved when put on the Favorites menu, that would do the trick for me.

I do appreciate that this is a much more usable tool now. I can hope that my request can be considered.

Thank you Logos for the marvelous renovation of this tool. You have truly made it a valuable asset. Now, just implement Don's and Mark's suggestions, and the tool will become even more valuable.

I'm glad it's more usable for you now. We'll consider both of these suggestions for a future update. Thanks!
