Search for documents and files

Quick Access

Introduction

The search functionality allows you to quickly find your documents and files in the EDM thanks to a powerful search engine.

It combines:

  • keyword research
  • a multi-criteria search
  • business filters
  • a configurable list of results
  • calculations on columns
  • a system of recorded searches

General presentation of the research

The search allows you to query:

  • the text layer of documents (OCR, PDF, Office files, etc.),
  • technical metadata (dates, creator, file type, etc.),
  • business metadata (e.g.: Amount excluding VAT, Third Party, Budget Code, etc.),
  • the structure of the EDM (files, filing rules, statutes, etc.).

You have a simple and scalable criteria interface: criteria are displayed by default, and others can be added as needed.

Access the search

From the banner

A search box is available in the top banner of the application.
It allows you direct access to global search.

Type a keyword and then press the Enter key on the keyboard to start a search from this banner.

From the side menu

The menu on the left has a Search entry, which opens the full search interface.

When you access the search from the menu, the search is empty: no search criteria are entered.

From a folder: “Search this folder”

By default, the search is carried out on your entire DMS.
Each folder has a Find in this folder action in the document browse. This action allows you to start the search by pre-filling the Folder criterion with the folder concerned.
