Quick Search

Quick searches enable you to rapidly search for cases, documents or contact persons based on a single piece of input, for example a contact person's name or a document number. The located case, document or contact is then opened in a new detail page.

You can perform quick searches instead of creating searches and defining search criteria and filters, saving time and jumping directly to the case, document or contact you are searching for.

Starting quick searches

Quick searches can be started by clicking the Open button in the tabs and selecting which item type you want to search for: Case, Document or Contact. You can also use a shortcut key combination to start the quick search by pressing Ctrl+G and then selecting which item type you want to search for.

Tip: The Ctrl+G shortcut key is a global shortcut key so you can start a quick search from where ever you are in the WorkZone.

Valid search criteria

You use the following input as search criteria for quick searches:

  • Cases: Case number, Case title
  • Documents: Document number, Document title
  • Contacts: Contact name 1, Contact name 2, Contact ID

MRU and Database

When using a quick search, the MRU (Most Recently Used) list is searched first and then the entire database. The MRU list in the quick search form can be scrolled and you can select the item from the list if necessary.

Note: You cannot use the Open button to locate or open documents with the AFS state.
The AFS document state was used by the WorkZoneCaptia Web Client and is no longer in use in newer versions of WorkZone.
