Question

Limiting folder level in results from a document/foldername query.

Updated July 5, 2014

We are performing document/folder name queries into a root folder in an 8.3 repository. The root folder contains 4 levels of child folders that expand significantly in volume.

Curently, the query results return folder names from all 4 levels. We want the query to return results from only the first 2 folder levels.

Any ideas on how to limit the results?

I suggest you create a «Depth» field computed/assigned to folder entries by a dedicated workflow. Then prescribe that fields value within your searches...

You can use the "Within Folder" search to limit your search to two specific folder levels:

Make sure that "include subfolders" is unchecked

Aaron,

That would add an addition specific subfolder but not a single additional subfolder level, which is the objective.

At least that is my understanding.

Thanks

There is no way to limiting the depth of the folder tree (beyond no/all subfolders) without listing the folders you want to look into.
