Enhanced Tag Filtering with AND/OR Logic

We’ve enhanced the Tags filter in EasySLR by introducing AND and OR filtering modes. This provides greater control over how articles are identified when multiple tags are selected.

What’s new?

Users can now choose between AND and OR logic when applying multiple tags:

AND mode: Displays only articles containing all selected tags.
OR mode: Displays articles containing at least one of the selected tags.

How it works

For example, if the tags RCT, Adult Population, and Diabetes are selected:

With AND mode, EasySLR displays only articles tagged with all three: RCT, Adult Population, and Diabetes.
With OR mode, EasySLR displays articles containing any one or more of the three selected tags.

Key capabilities

Select multiple tags within the Tags filter.
Choose the most appropriate filter mode-AND or OR.
Combine tag filtering with other article and screening filters.
Refine article lists without manually reviewing individual records.
Quickly create precise or broader article groups based on review requirements.

Benefits

More precise filtering
Use AND mode to identify articles that meet multiple tagging conditions simultaneously.

Broader discovery
Use OR mode to find articles associated with any of the selected tags.

Greater workflow flexibility
Switch between strict and inclusive filtering depending on the review task.

Faster article management
Locate relevant groups of articles more efficiently across large projects.

Improved analysis
Use tag combinations to explore article groups, study characteristics, or review categories.

Impact

This enhancement extends the existing Tags filter and does not change previously assigned tags. Users can continue filtering by a single tag as before or use AND/OR logic when selecting multiple tags.
