Description

Home

This tab provides a headline view of the status of the activities that you perform in Discovery Accelerator. It also gives you quick access to the activities that you are likely to perform frequently with Discovery Accelerator.

This tab lets you view the items in the review set and assign marks and comments to them.

Research

This tab lets you set up research folders where you can work privately on the items that interest you without generating additional work for other Discovery Accelerator reviewers.
