15. User roles

Different user roles are available in TIM, each one allowing additional functionality and making more pages available to the user. By default, new users are assigned the “Basic” role, which is essentially a simplified version of TIM, allowing them to get acquainted to the basics of TIM. Users can later decide to upgrade themselves to the role “Advanced”, unlocking more features. There are also other roles that the user can be upgraded to: the support team will assess the use case and upgrade the user, if needed.

To modify the current user role, select more on the top right and click on Edit roles.

Click on the name of the role in green to update the user to that role. Select remove next to the name, to go back to the previous role.

Below is a list of features and pages available to all types of users.

15.1. Role advanced

This role allows the user to create custom pages and modify fields of the dataset.

Below is a list of features available to the advanced user.

15.1.1. Dataset transformation

Modify (add/replace/delete) data of the dataset returned after a search, for instance add new fields, or remove entire documents. For more, see Transformations.

These are the specific transformations that are available to the advanced user:

15.1.1.1. Remove duplicates

This transformation removes duplicated documents.

15.1.1.2. Subst

For more information on the Subst transformation, please see Transformations.

15.1.2. Free shot

15.1.2.1. Generate

15.1.3. Custom pages

15.1.3.1. Heatmap Country

Country heat map.

15.1.3.2. Heatmap EUCountry

EU countries heat map.

15.1.3.3. Inventor country

Location of inventors of patents based on data provided by the data providers.

15.1.3.4. Patent Classification

CPC classifications of patents.

15.1.3.5. Classification(5)gram

Classifications associated to patents. Only upper level classification with 5 digits is visualised.

15.1.3.6. Author Keywords (Raw)

Keywords chosen by authors of scientific publication to describe the topic of their paper.

15.1.3.7. Gram

This gram is the basis for creating new custom visualizations. Just press the link ‘create’.

15.1.3.8. Documentgram

Documents in the dataset with the edges representing similarity between documents.

15.1.3.9. Clusters

Clusters of documents

15.1.3.15. Time Series

15.1.4. View

Change the options related to the view, such as background colour and layout algorithms (at space level).

15.1.5. Dataset properties

Define additional properties of the dataset that can be used in specific computations.

15.1.6. Other space options

Other options that do not belong to a specific category.

15.1.6.1. Indicator

Create an Indicator calculated from the dataset. Examples of indicators are the number of authors of a publication or the average number of countries.

15.1.7. Edge builder

15.1.7.1. Common field

15.1.7.2. Clusterset

15.2. Role big

This role adds the ability to create and manage datasets larger than 10,000 documents. As this puts a lot of strain on the servers, and results in network graphs that are usually difficult to read, the User cannot upgrade to this role by themselves. If you have a specific need for datasets larger than 10,000 documents, please contact us at JRC-TIM-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu.

15.2.1. Model

Warning

The model cannot be changed later on in a dataset. If you want to change the model, you will have to create a new dataset with another model.

15.2.1.1. large

Selecting “large” in the Model section of create dataset will allow searches of more than 10,000 documents.

15.2.1.2. process

Description not available.

15.2.1.3. zipprocess

Description not available.

15.3. Role lab

This role unlocks features currently in beta.

15.3.1. Dataset factory

The modality to build the initial dataset

15.3.2. Edge builder

It let the User define an alternative rule to build edges between nodes, so that edges no longer signify documents in common.

15.3.3. Custom pages

15.3.3.1. Heatmap Nuts2
