2.4.2.1 About Displaying Revisions

Administrators and subadministrators with RepMan rights can display a list of content item revisions in the Repository Manager. Administrators can display all content items; subadministrators with RepMan rights can display only content items for which they have Admin permission to the security group and account if applicable. The revision list can be searched by specifying metadata fields and revision status as filter criteria.

2.4.2.2 Displaying Revisions with the Filter

Follow these steps to filter the Content list by revision:

1. On the Content tab of the Repository Manager application, select the Use Filter

check box, then click Define Filter. The Define Filter Screen is displayed. 2. Select the check boxes for the filter criteria you want to use. 3. Specify values for all selected fields.

4. Click OK.

To filter revisions by Release Date: 1. On the Content tab of the Repository Manager application, select the Release Date Since check box. 2. Select one of the predefined date ranges.

3. Click OK.

To change the columns displayed on the Content tab: 1. On the Content tab of the Repository Manager application, click Show Columns. The Show Columns Screen is displayed. 2. Select the columns you want displayed. Any user-defined fields are displayed at the bottom of this list.

3. Click OK.

2.4.2.3 Changing the Default Sort Order of the Opening Query

When the Repository Manager application is started, it runs a default query against the database that returns all content released the previous day. By default, the query sorts the results by the ContentID of the content items. Ordering by ContentID is advantageous because the order is predictable when the Repository Manager has a long list of content items. However, if there are numerous documents, sorting by ContentID can cause the query to take a long time to return the Note: Similar content item display screens are used in several of the content server administration tools. For more specific information, refer to the documentation for the application you are using. 2-12 Application Administrators Guide for Content Server results. Therefore, you might prefer to have faster query results without the predictable order. If sorting by ContentID is too time consuming, the ordering can be changed by disabling the DoDocNameOrder configuration setting. When the value is set to true, the default value, content items are sorted by ContentID. When it is set to false, content items are not sorted. Additionally, when you change the sort order to optimize the query, it is helpful to enable the JDBC Query Trace. This will log trace information to the console log where you can view the database queries. To disable the DoDocNameOrder configuration setting: 1. In a text editor, open the config.cfg file: IntradocDirconfigconfig.cfg 2. Add the following configuration setting: DoDocNameOrder=false 3. Save and close the config.cfg file. 4. Restart Content Server. To enable Query Tracing: 1. In Content Server, click the System Audit Information link in the Administration tray. The System Audit Information page is displayed.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the Edit Active Console Output Tracing part.
