Removing Unused Attributes from Advanced File Searches

The extended attribute search for files automatically lists all non-hidden attributes for the Document type. (You reach this search by clicking Search > Team > Find Files, and then clicking More.) Some attributes are not used by ENOVIA Business Process Services and therefore not used in the search. If a user enters criteria for any of these attributes, the search returns no results.

You can instruct users not to select these attributes, or you can hide them so the users cannot acceidentally select them. If your system includes an ENOVIA product that also searches for files, you may not want to hide these attributes.

  1. In Business Modeler, find the Document type and click the Indented Browser tool.

  2. For each of these attributes, edit the attribute and check the Hidden box.

    • File Version
    • Language

    If you are running another ENOVIA product, make sure it does not use these attributes. If it does, hiding them may cause problems.
