Search for all files using a DCR when DCR is a secondary DCR

SethHickel

I have a requirment to allow for the inclusion of a DCR created for a child document type in a parent document and then to provide the ability to search for all parent documents that have included that child DCR.

User creates child document DCR.
User creates parent document with appropriate DCT. DCT allows user to browse to the child document DCR for inclusion.
(only some of the information in the child DCR will be used - dependant on type of parent document)
Child DCR data included in DCR for parent. File generated from parent DCR.

Question one: How do I get the child DCR referenced in the extended attributes of the parent document so that it is searchable?

Question two: How do I inlcude the ability to search for the EA in the advanced search interface so that it will return references to the parent documents that have included the child DCR?

Question three: Is the filtering of the data from the child DCR to be included in the parent DCR a function of the TPL?

Thanks.

I am not sure, to what extent you can customise searches.. however I would simply use a custom menu item for the purpose.. Question three: Is the filtering of the data from the child DCR to be included in the parent DCR a function of the TPL? [color=blue]you can do it anywhere you like depending on your design pattern and degree of functional independence you want to have between the two components.[/color] Thanks. Seth
