Search and Retrieve

Get the information you need...Fast...Period.

Search for information on any scale, large or small.

Laserfiche 8 delivers faster, more intuitive searching, thanks to an upgraded search engine and redesigned search interface.

• A Quick Search^™ bar appears at the top of every window (or, in Web Access, every page). This is similar to the search bar in your Internet browser.


• From the Quick Search bar, you can search across the entire repository.


• In the traditional search pane, you can refine your query to search across templates, fields, annotations or document pages.


• Make it faster and easier for more people to participate in business processes by putting a wider range of information closer at hand.

Classify and organize documents more easily.

New metadata options in Laserfiche 8 promise to redefine the way you label and organize documents.

• Multi-value fields help you simplify your organization’s document hierarchy and search more easily.


• Independent fields enable you to add metadata without applying a template.


• Field merging enables you to copy fields from a variety of templates into a single multi-value field or individual fields.

For example, you could create an Author field as a multi-value field. Then, if you needed to store a document that had multiple contributors, you could simply save each author’s name as a value within that field. Multi-value fields automatically expand as you fill them to contain as many values as you need. Searching a particular field will bring up results from every document with that field, regardless of what template is applied to it.

Work the way you would in Windows.

Laserfiche 8’s interface promotes instant familiarity, faster user adoption and fewer training requirements by incorporating features and design cues from Windows.

• Copy entire folder structures, with or without content, as easily as you can copy a single document. The copied folder(s) will retain the previously assigned volume and metadata information as well as all subfolders.


• In Web Access^™, thumbnails of document pages are viewable from the main browser window, so you can preview a document without opening it. Double-clicking a thumbnail opens the corresponding page.


• Also added are a “Recent Documents” list, with a display similar to that of Microsoft Office^®, and a “breadcrumb” trail that shows users where they are within a folder structure.


• The new Recycle Bin allows users and administrators the opportunity to review and restore deleted items before they are permanently purged.

Communicate more clearly throughout business processes.

Laserfiche 8’s improved annotation functionality greatly facilitates collaboration and makes it easier to communicate throughout a document’s life cycle. You can annotate a document exactly like you would a PDF.

• New annotation styles include underline and strikethrough text; freehand drawing tools; text and callout boxes; and native-format file attachments.


• All annotations can be hidden or shown during viewing.


• Annotation security tools let you flag individual annotations as "protected," preventing modification or deletion by anyone but the document owner and the user who created the annotation. You can also secure information with private annotations, which are only visible to the person who created them.


• The Sticky Note history feature enables you to see the revisions made to sticky notes, the users who made them, the date the note was modified and the new text.
