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.

Description

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.

Solution

In the TEXTML Administration perspective, perform the following:

Edit the Index Definition file.
CAUTION: Be careful when editing the Index Definition document. Changes can significantly affect the indexing process, and any errors in the document can lead to data corruption or other errors.

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 IXIA 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:
