Master document search using Aconex search codes and the main Search field.
As well as Boolean searching, the main Documents search field lets you search using Aconex document search codes.
You can use these search codes to create very specific searches.
To search for all documents marked confidential, you’d use the “confidential” search code and the operator 1, which indicates a checkbox field is checked for the document.
See the Aconex document search codes for the full list of codes you can use in the search.
The “filetype” search code lets you find documents of certain file formats.
filetype:PDF finds all PDFs in your document registerfiletype:DWG finds all drawing files (DWGs) in your document registerfiletype:DOC finds all Word documents (DOCs) in your document register.
You can search for particular revisions of a document using a range. The type of brackets you use — straight or curly — determines which values are included in the search.
To see the complete document history of the documents in the list, click the Show Document History checkbox above your search results.
You can also combine Aconex search codes and Boolean operators with the fields in the search pane. In the example below, we’re searching for Drawings that are Approved and are pdf files.
