The Polarity Advanced Settings window now contains the client advanced settings. This window contains four tabs which will be discussed in this section.
From the Polarity Overlay settings menu bar, click on Advanced Settings window.
Click on the Shortcut Keys tab.
Here users can customize the three shortcut key bindings for applying annotations, running an on-demand search of their clipboard contents and toggling highlight mode on/off.
To customize your shortcut keys, click on Editthen select the input and type in the desired shortcut key combination.
If you decide to change the default key bindings, note that not starting with "CTRL+C" will prevent text from being copied to the clipboard.
For example, if you change the Annotation shortcut from Ctrl+c+c to Alt+c+c when the Annotation window opens up the entity will not be the text that you selected but will be whatever was last saved to your clipboard.
To reset key bindings to their factory default settings click on Revert to Default for the appropriate function.
From the Polarity Configuration Window's menu bar, click on Window
In the dropdown list that appears, click on AdvancedSettings.
Click on the Recognitions tab .
When enabled, Polarity will attempt to not recognize entities that you specify within strings.
For example, if the word "two" is the entity, it will not be recognized or highlighted in the string "onetwothree" when this setting is enabled.
When enabled, Polarity will recognize first and last name pairs as the same entity regardless of the order. For example, the entity "Joe Miller" will be recognized by Polarity even if it appears on your screen as "Miller, Joe".
When enabled, users will be able to have both the Stream and Highlight modes running at the same time.
Use of this setting results in additional load being placed on the CPU.
Polarity makes use of an algorithm that helps to detect the location of entities displayed on your screen faster when Highlight mode is turned on.
Whether this feature is on or off Polarity will always locate entities. However, when the feature is disabled less load will be placed on the CPU but you might experience recognition lag when using Highlight mode.
