This feature, or some fields and options described, might not be available depending on your settings, security rights, or platform package.

The Doc360 Search access point you choose depends on what you want to do with the document when you find it.

• To attach a file to an Activity, Note, or Vendor Invoice, you can access Doc360 Search from the Attachments form. Click the Attach Doc360 File link in the File Selection section of the form.

• If you need to find a file to either view the document, send the file as an email attachment, or copy the file to your clipboard, access Doc360 Search from the menu in any Center:

1. Click Doc 360 on the menu bar.

2. Select Find Documents from the list.

3. From the Policy menu bar or from the Submission menu bar, select Operation > DocManagement  > Find Documents.

4. From the Policy tool bar or from the Submission tool bar, select DocManagement  > Find Documents.

5. Access Doc360 Search from the Match Pending Attachments form to search for attachment placeholders that have not yet been replaced by a document file. Click the Search link in the Match To section of the form.

Doc360 Match Pending Attachments is part of the back-end scanning workflow. For more information, see Workflow: Use Doc360 - Back-end Scanning. To use this form, you must have back-end scanning options enabled in Doc360 Setup.

If a document file has already been imported into AMS360, the Doc360 Search form provides an efficient means of retrieving the document from within the system.

• If you access Doc360 Search from a Center or Policy menu and use it to find a file, you can take actions such as view the document, send the file as an email attachment, or copy the file to your clipboard.

• When you access Doc360 Search from the Attachments form, the files you select in Doc360 Search can then be attached to the Activity, Note, Form, or Vendor Invoice from which you launched Attachments.

• If you are in the middle of a business transaction— creating an Activity, Note, or Vendor Invoice— and you realize that you must attach a file from your User Center as part of the transaction, you can use Attachments and Doc360 Search to select from the files located on your User Center's My Documents tab.

To use Doc360 Search, follow these steps:

1. Narrow your search results by entering criteria specific to the file that you want to find. Some of the search criteria sections on the form include Center and Name, Date Range Search, Match On (for index keywords), and Unprocessed Documents.
   
   In order to use the Unprocessed Documents fields as part of your search criteria, you must be authorized to view all unprocessed documents for the specific agency employee to whom the document is assigned. The Assigned To list includes all the employees for whom you are authorized to view unprocessed documents. For more information, see Doc360 Setup > Doc360 Setup Sections > Employee Assignments > Authorized to View Unprocessed Documents For.

2. When you have finished entering search data, click Find. Documents that match your criteria appear as rows in the Results grid.

3. Depending on your security permissions, you can take action on the document files using the Results grid icons and buttons. Actions represented on the grid include:

• Enter or change document index Information.

• View document content

• Edit a document in an associated application, and then save changes back to the system

• See the first 10 documents in the MSG file.

• View the History of actions taken on the document within the system.

• Send the document via Email by attaching it to a message using Outlook® (or another system-compatible email application).

• Copy document to clipboard so that you can paste it elsewhere.

If the document in the Results grid is an attachment, you can also click the Open link to launch Attachment Locations. This form provides a list of all the Activities, Notes, and/or Vendor Invoices to which the file is currently attached.

If your agency has enabled Doc360 features for third-party vendor imaging, then those documents managed using the third-party vendor are indicated in the Results grid by a unique icon that you set up. The only Action available for such documents is View: click the View icon to open the document using the third-party imaging application. For more information about enabling these features, see the topic Doc360 Setup > Doc360 Setup Sections > Third-party Integration Setup.

4. If you accessed Doc360 Search from the Attachments form, and you're ready to attach the document to an Activity, Note, or Vendor Invoice, check the Select box next to the file you want to attach.

5. Click OK. The file you selected now appears in the Attachments grid.
