Find Document

Context

You can search for documents in the Business Workplace using this procedure. You can search for all document classes, but not for folders or distribution lists. There are separate search functions for folders and distribution lists. Various attributes can be used as search criteria besides the document class. You can, for example, search for messages (document class RAW) in your private folder area that you have received from a particular sender.

Procedure


  1. In your Business Workplace, choose Documents.

    A dialog box is displayed in which you can enter the search criteria.

  2. Restrict the search area. Choose between private and shared folders and also specify the folders that are to be searched.

  3. Enter the search criteria. The following entry options are available:

    • Document Class

    • Document title

    • Creator

    • Last person to make changes

    • Recipient

    A generic entry with * as the joker for a character string is permitted (for example, document *ing), except for when document class is used.

  4. Specify whether all documents are to be searched or only those that have been changed in the last week, the last month or in a time period to be specified.

  5. Choose .

Results

The folder Search result is added to your folder tree. All the documents that correspond to your search criteria are listed in the folder content list of this folder. You can edit this document as you normally would. You can see in the document's attributes which folders the document is stored in (storage location and link list).
