Prior to May 2020	Original version of the documentation for the Generally Available version of the Docupace system.

Audience: All users, who use the Docupace system to process Work Items on daily basis.

Functionality: In Docupace, upon opening a Retrieve view (or a Domain view, if you have administrative access) the screen displays a list of containing items (e.g. Client Folders, Work Items, Forms). There are Search Fields in the left pane of the screen and a Table with Columns, listing properties of the items on the right. By default, both the Search and the Table display all possible properties of the respective items.

A drop-down list of default and custom filters and reports is located above the search fields. Selecting a custom report from this list will change the Search Fields and the Table Columns in the view.

In these views click Customize Report in the Actions toolbar to define Search Fields and Table Columns for your own customized view.

Start by dragging and dropping an available attribute into one of the three columns. (Criteria, Table or Sort)

Note

Warning! Even though Available Attributes column may show all possible fields, use caution when selecting for Table columns fields that may contain a lot of data.

Some types of content, for example, Image content or Widget content, cannot be rendered in a Table view at all. Extensive text information, for example Form Field Name or State, will take a long time to be displayed, thus rendering the interface unusable until the content has fully loaded onto the screen.

You can also click on the c icon to add the attribute to the Search by Criteria column.

_{Adding attributes to search criteria}
