Introduction

...

If a simple quick

...

search is not

...

sufficient,

...

application offers an advanced search functionality that

...

enables users to specify precise class and number of conditions to search for objects or documents.

...

The search can be activated as a global search by

...

using the icon located on the main Archive Explorer window.

...

Alternatively, an object-specific search can be activated by right

...

-clicking on any object in the tree view

...

and selecting the "Search subtree

...

" function.

Tip

...

The **Search subtree ** function is designed to conduct searches exclusively within descendant objects, based on the perspective established by an administrator (Context perspective). For instance,

...

the system will specifically search

...

for rooms

...

within a given building

...

or

...

documents located on a particular floor.

Warning

Currently used search technology relies on HyperDoc Query Language (HQL). It does not accepts some signs like "whitespaces".
User should add additional search conditions to narrow search results.

Using multiple conditions

Additional conditions can be added in the same group and "All conditions" or "Any condition" option can be used:

  • All conditions - all conditions in this group must be satisfied

  • Any condition - any (one or more) conditions in this group must satisfied

At the bottom of search window, there is an option to Add group. Any number of groups can be added with an option to match:

  • All groups

  • Any group

Below is an example of complex query where we search for the following criteria: Find rooms (Rum) where

  • Function is either Kontor or Lager and Area BRA is greater than 30 or...

  • Function is Produktion and Area BRA is grater than 50

...

Additional functions for groups

  • Use "X" button at the end of each condition to remove it. Once the last condition from group is removed, a group itself will also be removed.

  • Alternatively "Remove group" button can be used to remove entire group with all conditions
