Combined Queries

enaio® client • 11.10 »

Searches for folders, registers, and documents, and basic parameters can be combined.

You can simultaneously use a search form for a folder type, one for a register type, one for basic folder parameters, one for basic register parameters, one for basic document parameters, and multiple forms for document types.

When only combining the search forms for documents, you will receive different results than if you would combine them with other search forms.

If you combine search forms for documents, the hit list will, for example, contain these documents:

  • documents that fulfill all criteria of the first search form

  • or all criteria of the second search form

  • and all criteria of the basic document parameters

If the search forms for documents contain values for multi-fields, the hit list will contain these documents:

  • documents that fulfill the criteria of the first search form regardless of the value for multi-fields

  • and all criteria of the basic document parameters

  • and likewise contain at least one value for a given multi-field regardless of the search form into which the value was entered.

If you combine search forms for documents, registers, folders, and basic parameters, the search forms will be interpreted like the fields of a single search form.

The hit list contains:

  • all documents that fulfill all criteria of the search form for document types

  • and also the criteria of the search form for document basic parameters

  • and that are located in the registers that satisfy all criteria of a register type search form and the basic register parameters search form or are not found in any register.
    Use ENAIO ribbon tab > Settings > Query behavior to specify that documents which are not found in any register will not be included

  • and are located in folders which fulfill all criteria of the folder search form and the basic folder parameters search form.

You can combine search forms by dragging and dropping the icons from the object search as tabs into a search form or by using the Add pages context menu command.

  1. Open a search form.

  2. Fill out the search form.

  3. Use the mouse to drag the next document icon, register icon, folder icon, or basic parameters icon from the object search onto the first search form.

    The search form will now be added as a tab on the first search form.

  4. Fill out the search form.

  5. Click Start search or press the  ↩ enter key.

The result window will now open.

Query behavior settings (see 'Query behavior' area ) specify whether folders, registers, or documents will be displayed in the hit list.
