LESS SEARCHING. MORE FINDING.

Find any archived document, even without the reference number.

Search by date, party, department or any word on the page, in Arabic or English. Then see who has the file, which version is current, and who opened it last.

FOUR WAYS IN.
ONE ARCHIVE.

ELArchive gives your teams four search screens: documents, text inside documents, files, and text inside files. Results open in the browser, with every borrow, version and view recorded against the file.

Start with what you know

Most requests don’t come
with a reference number.

ELArchive doesn’t need one. Your teams search each document type by the fields they already use.

A few things worth knowing

Search questions.
Clear answers.

How do I search for a document in ELArchive?

Use one of four search screens to search by indexed fields or by words inside the document.

Can I search without a reference number?

Yes. Search by date, party, department, document type or any word on the page.

Does search work in Arabic?

Yes. Field search and full-text search both work in Arabic and English.

Can several people open the same document?

Yes. Authorized users in different departments can view it at the same time.

How does borrowing work?

Requests, approvals, hand-offs and returns all go on the file’s record.

Are older versions kept?

Yes. Earlier versions stay underneath, with a record of who changed what.

Can we search a whole case file at once?

Yes. The two file search screens cover every document in a file, including the text inside them.

Can Arabic and English documents sit in the same archive?

Yes. Both live in one archive, and you search them from the same screens.

Who can see a search result?

Only users whose group rights and confidentiality level allow it.

Do we need to install anything to search?

No. Search runs in the browser.

struggles with most.
We’ll run it live.

How do index search and full-text search differ?

Index-field search uses the details recorded about a document, such as a contract number or supplier name. Full-text search uses words within the document, including text recognized on scanned pages. The two methods complement each other.
