How to Use the PEP DVD Archive
Study Aids - Bookmarks, Highlighters and Notes
The following PEP Archive study/research aids are covered in this topic:
- Creating a Highlighter
- Highlighting Text
- Clearing Highlighted Text
- Deleting a Highlighter
- Searching your Highlighters
Folio Views 4 allows you to mark passages you want to come back to, to scribble your own notes on passages, highlight text, create Bookmarks and to design your own index of articles on topics that interest you in as Shadow File - just as if you had the paper journals on your desk. The DVD disc has an added advantage that permits you to search your own created data in your study notes and indexes just like you can with the database.
The program stores your original data in a Shadow File -- a personal database that functions like a transparency or shadow overlay on the PEP database. You can write on the transparency without affecting or writing directly on your master archive disc. The Shadow File is automatically opened and the program runs both the PEP database and your overlay database together. Each time you close the program, if you have added data, you will be asked if you wish to save the file. Always answer Yes. - Your data can be saved at any time while working in the program by selecting the Save icon, ![]()
NOTE: Any change that you make to the shadow file will only affect the shadow file, not the disc. Reconciliation of your shadow file with the new PEP update will not be possible at this time. There has been a bug in the Folio reconciliation process and awaits correction and our moving to another Folio 4x product. The next update after we get the Folio patch, should allow for Shadow files to be automatically updated so that your personal annotations are maintained .
If you locate a passage you may later want to return to, you can place a bookmark at that location. You can create up to 1000 individually named bookmarks that can be in your shadow file. How to create, use and move bookmarks are described in the following pages.

You can use highlighters in a shadow file to mark pieces of text in the archive that you want to remember. You can create a different highlighter for different types of information. For example, you can use one color highlighter to mark passages that pertain to one subject, and another to mark passages that pertain to a second subject. Using two different highlighters allows you to go back and locate your marked passages according to the highlighter used. If you choose, you can search only through your highlighters and avoid article text.

If you would like to select your own new topic, select Highlighter from the Personalize menu found on the Menu toolbar at the top of your screen.

Notes in the Archive work like sticky notes used in books to remind you of important information. You can create one note for any paragraph in the archive. The note appears as a note icon in the left margin. If you choose, you can search only through your notes and avoid article text.

Tagged Paragraphs are a feature of views similar to a highlighter which allows you to temporarily mark a number of paragraphs to be displayed or printed. Tags are used in a special circumstance when you want to collect a set of information from the infobase to be viewed all at once, printed, or exported. After performing this operation, you can quickly clear all tags.
As you move through the infobase, you simply click anywhere in a paragraph and then press Ctrl+T (or select Tag Paragraph from the Edit menu). Once tagged, a paragraph shows a marker as seen below:

Viewing, printing, or exporting all your tagged paragraphs
Once you have tagged a number of paragraphs, you can easily view them alone as a set.
To view only tagged paragraphs, select Tagged Paragraphs from the View menu
Views will present to you ONLY the information that is tagged. While in this view, it is easy to copy the set of tagged entries to the clipboard for import into another application.
One use for this is, for example, to collect a set of references as you are reading the infobase. You can quickly put together your own bibliographic list by tagging entries in reference sections as you work in the infobase. Then you can use this feature to print out or extract (using Edit->Copy) a bibliographic reference list for your own publication.
To go back to normal viewing mode, select Articles with Hits from the View menu
To print only tagged paragraphs, select Print from the File menu and in the print dialog, select "Tagged Records" on the Print Document tab.
