LF10.2 Search for Stamp Document containing a Token

Search and Retrieval Version 10

Updated February 19, 2018

asked on February 19, 2018

In LF10.2, how do you search for documents that have been stamped and the stamp contains a Token?

I have tried searching stamped documents with/without Tokens. Without a Token assigned to a stamp, the Syntax search works correctly. A search for a stamped document (which contains a Token within the stamp) returns a No Search Hits Found result?

Is this a bug that needs fixing or is there a different way to search for stamped documents (where the stamp contains a Token)?

Thank you for any help/guidance

Ralph

PS I used a Syntax search for {LF:annstampname="test personal stamp"}

Thanks for the clarification, this is a limitation in the annotation search. Once you apply a stamp that has tokens, the tokens are resolved and the link to the original stamp definition is not maintained in the database. A bug report has been filed to see if this can be fixed (bug# 70896).

I'm not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. Can you give an example of a search that is not working as expected?

Stamp Name search in LF - Text only stamp works

If I search for a document that has a text only stamp applied (i.e. stamp name = "test no token" and words on stamp = "Approved") it can be searched using the below Syntax search and LF retrieves any document with the said stamp name applied. Great!

Stamp Name search - Text and Tokens does not work

Whereas if I use the same Syntax search and change annstampname to "Test Token", which is a stamp containing Text and Tokens (like "Approved on %(Date) by %(UserName)") then no results are returned (and there are documents to return).

Thanks for any feedback!

As far as I know, Tokens like that only work in Workflow(where a value would be assigned to that token). In the advanced search within the client you would need to know the token value you are searching for.

Thanks Darrel/Robert for the input - much appreciated - hopefully a quick patch/fix can be applied once it is resolved then, as it is an inconvenience for the users.

Good to know someone else has experienced it.
