  1. Open the File Cabinets window:
    • Click the Open File Cabinets button from the main Client toolbar.

    • Select File | Open | File Cabinets.

  2. Click the Find Folder button, or right-click the Documents or Child Folders pane and select Find Folder.

    The Find Folder dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select the Folder Type.
  4. Enter Keyword Values to narrow your search.
    • If a Folder Type requires a Keyword Value for searching, the required Keyword Type is displayed in red.

    • To add another instance of an individual Keyword Type, double-click the Keyword Type's name or press F6.

    • If the folder uses a Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group, the Keyword Type fields are in a collapsed state. Expand them by clicking the symbol to the left of the Keyword Type Group's name or by pressing Ctrl + O. To add another instance of the Keyword Type Group, double-click the Keyword Type Group's name.

  5. Click Find.
    • OnBase returns all matching folders that you have rights to view, regardless of the associated file cabinet. The results of a folder search are displayed in the Search Results pane, which replaces the Child Folders pane.

    • If only one folder matches the search criteria, it is opened automatically.

      Note:

      A search may return the same folder multiple times if the folder is indexed with multiple instances of a Keyword Type Group and each instance has the same value for a Keyword Type used in your search.

  6. Double-click a folder to view its contents. The Folder Tree pane displays the folder's location.
  7. Each subsequent search is added to the Folder Tree pane and remains there as long as the File Cabinets window is open.

    To remove a selected search from the File Cabinets window, right-click it and select Remove From List. This option works only for searches with multiple results. If only one folder was returned, selecting the search takes you immediately to the folder.
