Searching in DocMgt is very simple. You can use the top tool bar search or you can use the Home page search. Either way provides the same result.


The top tool bar search box allows you to type in your search from any screen in the system. Just enter the words you are looking for and any records that match those words will be presented in the search results. For instance, if you are looking for the "john smith" record you could type in "john smith" and hit ENTER to perform the search. Any records with JOHN or SMITH in them will be found but any records with JOHN and SMITH will be at the top of the search results because both values were found. See SEARCH TIPS for more information on how the search works.



If you have any saved searches then you can use the saved search drop down to perform a saved search with a single click. You can also save the last search you made by clicking the Save button in the upper-right of the Saved Searches panel. To edit or delete your saved searches, use the Edit and Delete icons for the given saved search.






If your administrator has created Record Types then you will have other search options from the pull-down menu on the right side of the Search section. Select one of those search types and you will be presented with a search form that gives you more direct control over your search. For example, if you select "Personnel" in the drop down you will be given a custom search form that will specifically look at Personnel records:





Enter the search criteria in the given fields and hit ENTER or click the Search button to perform a search on only the Personnel records. You can even set the field by which to sort from the last field of the search form. See SEARCH TIPS for more information on how the search works.



The same searching options are available from the top toolbar. Click the down arrow to the left of the top search box to see the list of Record Types to be able to search for them. Click the Record Type to search on and a search form for that Record Type will pop up for you to enter your search. You can also perform custom searches from the top toolbar. This allows you to search  multiple Record Types using custom search criteria.




Once the search has been performed, any matching records will be shown in the search results screen.





Click on any row to view the selected record. You can also click the star icon on the right to add or remove the Record from your favorites.
