Searching for and Sorting Unpublished Document
To search for an unpublished document:
- Click Search in the Unpublished Documents log toolbar to open the Search window bar, and from the field on the right select a category that you want to search for. For example, select File Name. These categories that are listed correspond to the column headings in the Unpublished Document log (File Name, Content, File Type, Record Number, Rev. No., Title, Publication Date, and Issue Date).
- In the left field, enter a value that corresponds to the category that you selected in the right field. For example, if you selected File Name, enter the name of the file.
- Click Search in the Search window. A new Search window will open which has two panes.
The right pane lists the items that correspond to your search, in columns. The Search window tool bar options are:
- Publish
- Download
- Switch to Tile View / Switch to List View
- Find on Page
The left pane of the Search window lets you sort or filter unpublished documents. In the left pane, you can select options to sort or filter unpublished documents based on results from your search.
The default options are as follows:
- Group By - Publication Date
- Format - Drawing Files, PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Images, Text, Others

- Bluebeam Session Status - Active, Finalized, Archived, Deleted in Bluebeam
- Follow the prompts to complete your search. You can click Change to open the Search window bar and change your search parameters.
Note: This search option can be customized through uDesigner. If a designer has imported Document Manager attribute forms, the search criteria can also be customized. This means that the fields on which you can search may differ from the above list.
