How can I search for images that have changed from Authoring:work to Authoring:approved on a specific date?

You can create an index to search for the images.

Symptom

I want to search for images that have changed from Authoring:work to Authoring:approved on a specific date. I also want a display column in my Search Results view to indicate who the approver of the image was, the user who changed the status from Authoring:work to Authoring:approved.

Problem

This index isn't defined in the default configuration and must be added manually.

Solution

In the TEXTML Administration perspective, perform the following:

Edit the Index Definition file to add the following indexes:

<index NAME="mime-type" SYNC="False">
            <stringindex KEEPEXTRACTEDVALUES="True">
                <elements>
                    <element DEPTH="INFINITE" XPATH="//mime-type/text()"/>
                 </elements>
             </stringindex>
         </index>

<index NAME="ImageApproved" CUSTOMPROPERTY="True" SYNC="False">  
   <dateindex KEEPEXTRACTEDVALUES="True">
      <dateindexproperties>    
            <datevalidation VALUE="YearMonthDay"/>  
               <formats>    
                   <format NAME="ISO 8601"/>  
               </formats>   
     </dateindexproperties>   
     <elements>    
            <element XPATH="//systemComment[contains( text(), 'Authoring:work to Authoring:approved')]/@date" DEPTH="INFINITE"/>   
            </elements>                
   </dateindex>
</index>

<index NAME="ImageApprover" CUSTOMPROPERTY="True" SYNC="False">  
    <stringindex KEEPEXTRACTEDVALUES="True">    
       <elements>    
            <element XPATH="//systemComment[contains( text(), 'Authoring:work to Authoring:approved')]/@by" DEPTH="INFINITE"/>   
       </elements>                
    </stringindex>
</index>

Edit the system/conf/display.xml file and add the following:

<key halign="LEFT" label="Image Approver" name="ImageApprover" sortOrder="ASC" sortType="ALPHA" type="Index" visibility="255" width="30"/>
<key halign="LEFT" label="Mime Type" name="mime-type" sortOrder="ASC" sortType="ALPHA" type="Index" visibility="255" width="30"/>

When the index has finished indexing, restart your IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop.

To perform the search:

In the Search view, in the Cycles panel, select the Authoring checkbox.
In the Document Types panel, select Images.
In the Advanced Search panel, select the following:
- Type: date
- Name: Image Approved
- Value: type the date that you want to search on
Click Search.
The Search Results view will show data similar to the following:
