SEARCH RESULTS AND DOCUMENT VIEW

When a “Starters”, “Current” or “My Topics” link is selected on the Home page, or from the Favorites Popup, OurGov switches to the document view.  A list to the left of the document view contains the search results of the chosen topic.  When an item in the search results list is selected, the document view on the right updates to show a splash page of information about the selected item.  The splash page is background information and basic statistics which will display in the document view.

SEARCH RESULTS LIST

Select any item in the search results list by tapping on it. The document view on the right will refresh to show the selected item.

CATEGORY TABS

The items in the list are separated by category; Members, Committees, Legislation, News, and Contributors. These are represented at the top of the search results list as a set of icons, one for each category. Tapping one of these icons shows the list of items in the selected category.

SORTING

Search results can be sorted by tapping on the sort icon at the bottom of the list.  The sort popup lets you choose which method to use for sorting displayed list results. Each category offers sorting options appropriate to the category.

SEARCH LINKS

Documents contain prioritized links for searches specific to the selected item. When you tap one of these items, the search list is refreshed with the results of the search link.

ADDING A FAVORITE

Searches can be saved by selecting “Add Current Search To Topics” option in the add favorites popup menu. Selected items from the search results list can be saved to the favorites list by selecting the “Add Current Item To Favorites” option.

SHARING A DOCUMENT

You can easily share any selected item via e.mail, Twitter, or Facebook. Just tap the “Share” button, and select a method for sharing. OurGov will format and post pertinent information based on the item’s category.
