Attachment Searching

Attachment Searching

Hi

Would it be possible to add an 'Attachment' Search option? And/or have the 'Search Across' option include attachment names?

We have many requests that have attachments. It would be great to be able to search SDP to find a request that included that attachment name. When I search now by attachment name I get way to many results that do not include that attachment.

In searching the SDP SQL Database - I see that the image name is stored in two tables:


So can the SDP search be modified/updated to include an attachment name search that returns the request id?


I see that I can create a report but that just shows every attachment and would not allow my technicians to search by name. And it takes a very long time to execute:

  1. SELECT ad.ORG_NAME AS "Account", 
  2. wo.WORKORDERID AS "Request ID", 
  3. wo.TITLE AS "Subject", 
  4. ti.FIRST_NAME AS "Technician", 
  5. sa.ATTACHMENTNAME "Attachment Name",
  6. sa.ATTACHMENTPATH "Attachment Path" FROM WorkOrder wo 
  7. LEFT JOIN WorkOrderStates wos ON wo.WORKORDERID=wos.WORKORDERID
  8. LEFT JOIN WorkOrder_Queue woq ON wo.WORKORDERID=woq.WORKORDERID 
  9. LEFT JOIN queuedefinition qdef ON woq.QUEUEID=qdef.QUEUEID
  10. LEFT JOIN statusdefinition sdef ON wos.statusid=sdef.statusid
  11. LEFT JOIN SDUser td ON wos.OWNERID=td.USERID 
  12. LEFT JOIN AaaUser ti ON td.USERID=ti.USER_ID 
  13. LEFT JOIN AccountSiteMapping asm ON wo.SITEID=asm.SITEID 
  14. LEFT JOIN AccountDefinition ad ON asm.ACCOUNTID=ad.ORG_ID 
  15. LEFT JOIN Workorderattachment wa ON wo.workorderid=wa.workorderid 
  16. LEFT JOIN Sdeskattachment sa ON wa.attachmentid=sa.attachmentid
