    Search large number of forms

     

    We have DBXL ver 2.0 and love the speed and dependability.  I have a question concerning a Document Catalog with thousands of Forms.  The forms are used to submit Charge Sheets for a Physical Therapy company with 24 locations.  Each day hundreds of forms are created.  These forms often need to be opened again at a later date to change some of the information.  We now use the MyForms web part that is installed with DBXL to display Active forms.  Once a form is archived, I would like a simple way for someone to search for that form.  Each form is named uniquely (i.e. Tangen, Jeff (Kirkland) 8_8_2007).  Is there a way to pass a filter parameter to the MyForm web part?

    Hi Jeff,

    Due to SharePoint performance considerations, we have not focused on search for the Webpart. Instead we have developed a client-side tool that quickly searches the database and supports launching the forms. We call this Smart Search. The tool is in beta now, but we would be happy to make it available to your team (just send me e-mail). For SharePoint, I think your only solution now is to use a Dataview on top of the database. This is not a performant solution, though. In the next version of our DBXL Suite (version 2.1 coming out at the end of this month), we plan to support client side search via an InfoPath catalog form (in addition to Smart Search). We are going to be blogging more on the catalog form (aka CatBase) in the near future. CatBase supports viewing and editing a collection of forms. It also has built in functionality for routing, notifications, and tagging. The key reason why we have focused on the client is performance. We are trying to create tools that move processing off of the server onto the client.

    More soon...
