Project Documentation to support you in upgrading Quantexa
One of Quantexa's priorities is to unlock the potential of your data while enabling customers to form their own self sufficient decision intelligence capability. Our Documentation team has outlined the requirements for upgrades, allowing you to prioritise needs against business benefit. This allows customers to assess through the following lenses: Which functionality update would help bring value to your organisation? Can additional functionality unlock other opportunities for Decision Intelligence in your organisation Are there any further technical or architectural requirements to consider when planning functional upgrades? How will these upgrades help with your end-user experience, or; Further the technical improvements of the platform? Where can you find this information? 📚️ As the Quantexa Releases are announced, the Documentation site explains the functional and non-functional updates, how they work, and how to implement the upgrades. As a Quantexa customer or partner, you will be able to access information around best practices to follow when upgrading your version of the Quantexa Platform on our Documentation site. In this section you will find guidance around Performing upgrades, Maintaining upgradable Quantexa implementations and Ongoing development during upgrades. Additionally, you can stay updated with the latest releases by subscribing to Release Announcements or reach out to your TAP (formerly CSMs & SSMs) to set up a meeting with the required team members. Quantexa can demonstrate the functional updates and discuss the benefits and effort requirements in order to help you plan out your platform roadmap, for your current needs or those you may have in the future. We are here to support you in any way you need.

No search results in Quantexa Documentation
Hi team, Hope to get kind help from the community. The search function in documentation is always returning no results starting today. It was working fine previously. I have tried Edge, Chrome and Incognito Chrome. I also tried clearing browsing history and restarting the laptop. Upon checking the console, there seem to be some errors logged. Not sure if it is related.
Entity Resolution tooling and best practices
Entity Resolution (ER) has always been the heart of any Quantexa solution and plays a significant role in the successful outcomes delivered. As we continue to improve this capability, we are working to make Entity Resolution clearer and lower the barrier to entry for all users. We are happy to announce we’re introducing new and improved documentation, focusing on how to understand your Entity quality and leverage new Entity Resolution tooling through best practices and guides. Why Entity quality? Understanding and assessing the quality of Entities within any solution is often complex as it requires specialized skills, knowledge and resources such as: the ability to write Scala queries, knowledge of the batch build output, time as investigations and queries often have long elapsed times, expertise in understanding and interpreting the results as well as recommend resolutions. This means that quality assessment historically could only be carried out by those with the required technical expertise, which could lead to investigations taking longer than necessary. What’s new? An earlier release of the Statistical Profile Testing (SPT) framework and the Bad Entity Analyzer (BAE) reduced the requirement level for both writing Scala and knowledge of the batch output. Although having these tools made assessing Entity quality much easier, we discovered a way to streamline the process even more. In the Quantexa 2.4 release, we integrated the Entity Explorer and Entity Quality Score into the Entity Resolution capability, making the visibility and overall understanding of the Entity quality a focus. You said; we did Whilst the introduction of new tooling is key, based on your feedback we've also identified the need for better documentation on Entity Resolution best practices, specifically on how to get the most of the features associated with tuning and analyzing Entity Resolution. We are pleased to say we have created a whole new Entity Resolution tuning best practice space within Quantexa Documentation in the Quantexa 2.4 release section. The new section will help offer advice and guidance through the process to help understand: Why is it important to validate an Entity Resolution run? What are the signs of poorly resolved Entities? How do I use Quantexa tooling to simplify ER tuning? The documentation contains dummy examples of how to use the Entity Quality Scoring, Entity Explorer and Entity Lab to find, understand and propose suggestions on how to fix some common issues discovered. Watch out for future documentation on additional tooling and guidance around Entity Resolution processes as the site updates alongside Quantexa releases. Additional Resources For more information on Entity Resolution check out our blog on Using base Entity Resolution configuration for the first time. Whilst Quantexa's standard Compounds will support most use cases, there are situations where specific Compounds will be needed. See our article What Makes a Good Compound giving guidance and considerations to help with Compound creation. Entity Resolution (ER) and good Entity quality underpins all Quantexa deployments. Therefore, we recommend that Entity Resolution is monitored and reviewed through all stages of development. Our Entity Resolution general playbook describes the best practice process for monitoring and reviewing Entity Resolution within Quantexa.
Introducing Quantexa Documentation
Quantexa Documentation is our comprehensive knowledge base for The Quantexa Platform, available to customers and partners to support them with installation, upgrading and self-service support of the platform, as well as ideas for best practice and examples of how it can be configured and optimized. Below you'll find more on some of the resources you can find there. So, who is Quantexa Documentation for? The idea behind Quantexa Documentation is to provide a comprehensive, one-stop shop for all the material you might need to refer to while setting up, upgrading or using the platform. As a result, it does require you to be a customer or partner, and be logged into our Q Identity service. Once inside, there is information for a wide range of technical knowledge, from a first-time user or non-technical expert looking for more background on what Quantexa is and how it works, to the most knowledgeable expert looking for detailed configuration, best practice or example code. What will I find there? Here's a snapshot of our home page, which should tell you a bit more about information we have available on the site: 1) To help you get around, and find what you're looking for, the site search offers a complete index of all the documentation on the site, including specific versions. 2) If you're just starting out with Quantexa, the New to Quantexa section will give you a high-level overview of what the platform is all about and an introduction to our different solutions, core concepts and how to set up a project. 3) We divide the process which The Quantexa Platform uses to transform your data into intelligence into four steps: Data Integration, Entities and Networks, Scoring and User Interface. In each of these sections you'll find setup details, configuration and further information on platform features. 4) Everything you might need relating to our most recent release of the platform, including release notes, migration guide and fixes lives here. Is there anything else I should know about Quantexa Documentation? The information on the site gets updated all the time, so whenever new features or functionality are available as part of a release, documentation will be there to give you more details about how it all works. Once you begin navigating around the site, you can jump into other sections of information, such as details on our project example repository, using the left navigation. You'll also find further details, such as how to use the site search most effectively, in the "Using Quantexa Documentation" in the "New to Quantexa" section. Sounds good, where can I find it? If you're already a customer or partner with us, just go to the More from Quantexa section of the navigation at the top of the page and choose "Platform Documentation", or just head to the site right now. If you are unable to access the Documentation site, please get in touch with your Quantexa point of contact or the Community team at community@quantexa.com.
