SINCE 2.5.0
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.
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.
Using Search Dialog
When you open the search dialog, start by selecting a class of objects to search for using the class picker.
In the Search Conditions section, available fields will be listed in the first column. Choose the field you want to search within.
The system will automatically identify the field type and adjust possible operators based on whether it's text, date, dictionary, or number. Refer to the tables below for available operators per type.
Input your desired value into the search field and then click on the Search button or press Enter to initiate the search.
Available operators depending on the field type:
Number field operators | Explanation |
|---|---|
Equals | field contains exactly that number |
Not Equals | field is different than given number |
Not Less than | field has a value grater or equal to given |
Not grater than | field has a value that is lower or equal to given |
Grater than | field has a value grater than given |
Less than | field has a value lower than given |
Is empty | field has no value |
Is not empty | field is not empty |
Date field operators | Explanation |
|---|---|
Equals | Date matches exactly |
Not Equals | Date is different than given |
Before | Field has a date value that is before given date |
After | Field has a date value that is after given date |
Is empty | field has no value |
Is not empty | field is not empty |
Text field operators | Explanation |
|---|---|
Contains | field contains given text (anywhere, part of) |
Not contains | field does not contains given text (anywhere, part of) |
Equals | field equals given text exactly |
Not equals | field does not equal given text |
Starts with | field value starts with given string |
Is empty | field has no value |
Is not empty | field is not empty |
Dictionary field operators | |
|---|---|
Equals | dictionary field has exactly that value |
In set | field has one of the listed values |
not Equals | field has a different value than given |
Not in set | field does not have any of the listed values |
Is empty | field has no value |
Is not empty | field is not empty |
Note - "In Set" operator is selected automatically if more than one value is selected.
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
Review Results
Select search results (records) in a grid view to show them in the main interface. System will try to show the object in the grid view id possible.
If the class is not present in the selected Perspective, an attempt to show the object in Tree view will be made.
Searching for Master GUID (FM GUID)
