Sidebar

On the left side of the search overview in INDICA you can see most of the filtering options. These filters are categorized in a few categories:

• Type

• Path

• Tags

• Filter

• From

• To

• CC

• BCC

• Info

• Collection

• Access

• Dupes

Your categories may vary depending on what is in your dataset. The number next to the filter shows the number of results within that filter.

Expanding and collapsing the sidebar

Within the sidebar there is a button to collapse the sidebar. See the thumbnail below.

When clicking on the button, the sidebar will collapse. This will give you more screen space. To uncollapse the sidebar, just click the >> icon in the top of the sidebar. See the image below.

Tip

Since INDICA v12.0.0 it’s also possible to resize the sidebar. Just next to the sidebar - in the middle of the screen - you will see the two stripes. If you click and drag your cursor over the screen it will resize to your preference.

Selecting multiple filters in one category

Sometimes you might want to select multiple filters in one category (e.g. the “Type” category). You are able to select multiple filters in one category by enabling the switch named “Allow multiple filters per category” at the top of the sidebar.

Eg. Let’s say you decide to select two filters in the category Type: image and pdf.

• When the switch is enabled When selecting the image and pdf filters with the switch enabled, the search will give results for both image document OR pdf documents.

• When the switch is disabled When trying to select both types with the switch disabled, you’ll notice that this is not possible. Trying to do this would result in documents that are both an image document AND a pdf document, which is not possible.

Tip

Whether the switch is enabled or disabled will be saved for your user. This means that if you enable the switch, this will be enabled until you decide to disable it.

Daterange

To set a date range, simply click and drag your mouse over the timeline. It immediately sets the filter the moment you let go of your mouse. To clear the date range filter, click on the clear button next to the timeline, or the yellow badge with the ‘yyyymmdd’ text underneath the search bar.
