The similarity report will generate a complete list of results. However, there is always the option to exclude or change results that are not relevant.
Here, you are able to change the type of sources that are displayed, as well as filter different similarity results. Once you click apply filters, your Matched Text percentage will change to reflect your filtered matches.
Match Result Filter Options:
- Source Type:
- Internet Source: Show web based sources
- Internal Database: Show matches from Copyleaks' database
- filter out only results from within your organization or only those outside of your organization
- This Batch: Show matches from the batch of submissions you are currently uploading
- Result Word Limit: How many words need to be matched in order to elicit a result.
- For example: If you word limit is 60 but your submission has 50 words in common with a result on the internet, it will not be a result.
- Domain Search: You can exclude results by the domain.
- Results Meta: Automatically generated tags from submission meta data, like Course Name, Assignment Name, Student Name, Submission Date or File Name. If no tags are created - this field will be disabled.
- The order of the tags presented will be:
-

scannedDocument.metadata.creationDate
-
if none: scannedDocument.metadata.publishDate
-
