advanced search latest file

Workflow Search and Retrieval

asked on February 11, 2016

Hi,

In my workflow i use advanced search syntax to find files in a folder. Search returns all the files it finds in the folder, but what i want is to return the latest file that was created. 

Currently i have to go through each file and compare creation date to find one with latest creation date.

Is there a simpler way to achieve this using advanced search syntax.

Yes, you can do this in the "Search Repository" activity. After you have specified your advanced search syntax, set the following options:

  • Results to Return - First result
  • Additional Properties - Creation Date
  • Sort Found Entry By - Creation Date : Descending

I would like to do the same thing. I have the Search Repository activity with  Results to Return and the Addtional Properties set as  Alexander Huang suggests.  I do not see "Sort Found Entries by"?

 

I am using workflow designer version 9.1.1.381. Is that option not in this version?

No, it wasn't available in that version. It's available in Workflow 9.2 and higher.
