Document Type Group searches allow you to retrieve documents from multiple Document Types associated with the Document Type Group.

If Document Types in the Document Type Group are configured with search parameters (for example, to require a Keyword Value be entered for the Date Keyword Type prior to performing the search), the most restrictive search parameter out of all Document Types in the Document Type Group is enforced.

For example, the XYZ Document Type Group contains Document Type A and Document Type B. Document Type A is configured to require the entry of a Date Keyword Value in order to perform the search. Document Type B is configured to only warn the user that a Date Keyword Value should be entered prior to the search, but the search can be performed whether a Date Keyword Value is entered. When a search is performed of the XYZ Document Type Group, the search parameter for Document Type A is enforced as it is the most restrictive of the two search parameters configured.

To retrieve documents by Document Type Group:

  1. Open the Document Retrieval layout.
    1. Click Main Menu to expand the menu options.
    2. From the Document section, select Document Retrieval. The Document Retrieval layout is displayed.

    Retrieval panel with a Document Type section selected.
    Tip:

    Document Type Groups display double check marks to the left of the Document Type Group name when hovering over them or selecting them in the Document Retrieval Search pane.

  3. Click Search or press Enter to perform the search. One of the following may occur:
    • If documents are found, a list of documents is retrieved and displayed in the Document Search Results pane.

    • If no documents are found, the message No items to display is displayed in the Document Search Results pane.

    • If search parameters are configured for Document Types in the Document Type Group, the most restrictive search parameter is enforced and a prompt is displayed regarding the search parameter to fulfill. If you are required to enter a Keyword Value, see Document Retrieval by Keyword Value. If you are required to enter a document date or date range, see Document Retrieval by Document Date.
