asked on December 26, 2016

In Laserfiche I have top level folders that may or may not contain a subfolder called 'Goods Received' . I am trying to search and filter a list of only the top level folders that do not contain the subfolder 'Goods Received'.  Is this possible ?  

I have tried with various combinations LOOKIN with Childname and negation (-) but I tend to get a list of all sub folders as they too dont't contain the subfolder "goods recieved".

Hi Mark,

You can first locate all of your top-level folders ONLY by using the "Subfolders=0" syntax and then use the negation as you've described. This should return all your top level folders that don't include "Goods Received" sub-folder. 

{LF:LookIn="Repository\",Subfolders=0}-{LF:ChildName="Goods Received",Type="F"}
