RMS 225: Universal Search

Release 225 of the Bipsync Research Management System (RMS) is now available. This release includes a complete reinvention of search within the RMS which significantly expands the ways in which users can find data across the platform.

Universal Search

Bipsync started life as a note-centric application, which meant that its search feature was originally designed to find content within the notes in the system. As time has gone on however, the types of data which Bipsync supports has grown to match our users’ needs, and now companies, funds, mangers, contacts and lots of other types of entity are commonplace across the platform, and in ever greater numbers. We recognised that our search functionality needed to adapt to accommodate this increased scale of data.

We’re excited to introduce Universal Search in this release, and you can read all about it in this in-depth article.
