Folder filter expression - file extensions?

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a folder filter expression only show documents of a certain extension? I've played around with the filter expressions but had no joy whatsoever and I find the documentation very limited. As an example, I would want an expression that filters on file extensions 'msg' and 'eml' and apply it to all users (or an example where it applies only to a group would be good too).

Thanks!

 

Nigel.

Hi Nigel,

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use Folder Filter Expressions to query an electronic documents extension. However, you could set up very simple workflow with a fairly broad starting rule that will trigger whenever a document with extension .eml or .msg is created, then assign the extension to a field called 'Extension'. You could then use something along the lines of the below to filter to apply it to a group called 'Emails'.

(IS_GROUP_MEMBER('Emails') = 1) AND (entryprop."Extension" = '.eml' OR entryprop."Extension" = '.msg')
