When migrating applications from SharePoint to WEBCON, the users are used to search documents only. This isn't a problem at all with WEBCON as long an element only has one document attached.
If there are more attachments, the current full text search returns the element with all its documents even if only one document matches the search term. For Records Management processes, where we can have several dozens of documents, it is impossible to find the right document.
WEBCON does store attachments as relations, therefore it is technically possible to submit a query to SOLR to search for documents only.
But it would also require a permission layer so that only documents are returned to user has at least read permissions. Although I more or less know how to implement such a solution, I would appreciate if WEBCON would add this feature to the product.
Spent some thoughts of what would be the best approach.
Adding an additional Tab "All documents" in the global search results and/or "Documents in application" on application level?
Or just a new "Document Search Widget"? Ideally it would allow to filter by process / Workflow / Form or even step in a similar way as we already can.
