Entry ID WIldcard Search in 10.1

asked on June 13, 2016

We have a process that imports a bunch of documents via QuickFields and essentially the only consistently formatted unique identifier for them is their Entry ID.  In order to speed up processing (and since they come in sequentially), we have a parallel activity where one path processes even entry id's and the other path process odd entry id's. This method successfully used the syntax below for odd entry id's in Workflow 9.2 and Laserfiche 9.2.  

  • {LF:LOOKIN="%(Entry Path)\%(Entry Name)"} & {LF:Name="*", Type="DB"} & ({LF:ID=*1} | {LF:ID=*3} | {LF:ID=*5} | {LF:ID=*7} | {LF:ID=*9})

 

After upgrading to Workflow 10.0 and Laserfiche 10.1, this syntax errors out both in Workflow and the client.  Additionally, in the 10.1 client it is no longer possible to even enter the * when running a basic entry ID search.  While I understand this is not standard functionality and that in most cases there are better ways to handle a process, was there a reason this wildcard functionality was removed from the search capabilities in LF 10.1?

you are right. i cant include * in my id. it seems like they have changed id field type to be a numeric thats why it wont accept characters even though it says so in the user guide.
