Query

You can retrieve captured images from the built-in repository for any capture profile that has a Retrieval workflow step.

  1. Under Query type, select the query to search databases or repositories.

    • Database: You can select which database and table to search in.

    • Repository: You can select which repository and capture profile to search in.

  2. Under Parameters, click Manage.

    The Manage Search Databases or Manage Search Repositories dialog box appears, where you can add, edit, or delete databases or repositories, depending on the selected query type.

  3. Follow these steps to add a database. Repeat as many times as necessary.

    To add a repository instead of a database, skip to step 4.

    1. Click Add.

      The Database Configuration dialog box appears.

    2. Enter a name for the database.
    3. Select the database provider.

      • Microsoft Access

      • Microsoft SQL Server

      • Oracle

      • IBM DB2

      • IBM Informix Dynamic Server

      • ODBC Complaint

      • OpenLink Virtuoso Server

    4. Click Select to define a database.

      The Database Connection Setup dialog box appears.

    5. Define your database by filling in the fields.
    6. After the database is defined, click Save.

      The dialog box closes and you return to the Database Configuration dialog box.

    7. Click Save again.

      The dialog box closes and you return to the Manage Search Databases dialog box.

  4. Follow these steps to add a repository. Repeat as many times as necessary.

    If you added a database instead of a repository, skip this step.

    1. Click Add.
    2. Browse to the folder where the repository is.
    3. After selecting the repository, continue configuring the connection as needed, then return to the Manage Search Repositories dialog box.
  5. Click Save.

    The dialog box closes and you return to the Query tab.

  6. Under Parameters, select the database or repository the query should search from.

    If you search in a repository, point to the same directory as defined in the Retrieval workflow of the capture profile configuration.

  7. Under Definition, select Simple query or Query builder, then define your search criteria.

    • Simple query: One or more search criteria can be defined using multiple index fields.

    • Query builder: Works the same way as the simple query, except the same field name can be used in multiple criteria, further narrowing the search.

  8. After the search criteria are specified, click Run Query to initiate the query.
