Configure Highlight Search

Prev Next

The Highlight Search of Smart Connect searches for documents in a DocuWare file cabinet directly from a third-party application such as CRM, accounting, chat, or Microsoft Word.

You highlight a term or number in any program and press a key combination to display the matching document.

How to configure Smart Connect Highlight Search

To use Highlight Search in any program, only a single configuration is required. Unlike Smart Search or Smart Index, Highlight Search is not tied to a specific application and works in any program once set up.

  • Go to DocuWare Configurations > Integrations > Smart Connect

  • Set the file cabinet, search dialog, and Index Field.

  • Assign a key combination. For example, you can set the key combination Ctrl+Alt+F7.

  • The document will be found if the index field contains the search term (similar to a wildcard search with an asterisk). If you also want to search the document content, select the fulltext field.

  • For fulltext, date, and numeric fields, you can always use an “equals” search.

  • For text fields, the operators 'equals', "begins with", and "ends with" are also available.
