Filter Expression inheriting to child folders?

asked on January 31, 2014

 

I have a client who has some employment applications that has a template with a document type for a field that has 10 options and one of these options is "application". These application documents are in individual employee folders with other types of documents but all share the same template just some have different options selected under the field document type. now what he wants to accomplish is have a group that contains 4 users that he wants them to only see those documents with the document type application. I set up a test group and a test folder to try this out on with a folder filter expression  

 

((IS_GROUP_MEMBER('FilterExpression') = 1) AND entryprop."Document Type" = 'Application')

 

This code works fine but I cannot see any other folders in my test folder that contain the document type application. I can see just one inside the root of the test folder but nothing else. Is there way to be able to see the other folders containing the Application documents? There is something probably missing in my code but I'm not to familiar with filter expressions

try adding an exception for the folders by using the following:

 

(((IS_GROUP_MEMBER('FilterExpression') = 1) AND entryprop."Document Type" = 'Application') or entry.type ='folder')

I used this as well as stated above and it works for the prescribed group, but what happens is none of my other Groups that have access to the Folders can see any of the documents, although they can see the folder structure.

If I remove the Filter, these groups can see their documents normally, so its appears that this is being driven by the filter

Here is my Filter Expression

(((IS_GROUP_MEMBER('CUDIC') = 1) AND entryprop."FIC Institution Type" = 'Credit Union') or entry.type ='folder')
