  3. Click on Files tab in right side of the panel.

  4. Set Data set as 'src:006:documentum:b60:ds under Common filters in left side of the screen.

  5. Select the check box ‘Before’ under common filters in left side of the penal.

  6. Click on the Calendar icon and set data as (e.g.) '10-01-2023'

Expected results: Document ‘Amarjeet_Test_DT.docx’ should not display in results window because its created after the set date.

Actual results: Document Amarjeet_Test_DT.docx is displaying in CDF

Note Issue exists for all Date filters like Created time, updated time with Before, After, During in CDF, user want to know what date is used for filtering the documents in CDF with these filters.

Hi @Palaksha!

Thank you for the question. 
 

When you select the common filter “Created time”, that is a system generated date. In the screenshot you shared, this is the filter you have applied (below). 

 

It seems you have created two custom Metadata fields, “Creation Date” and “Modify Date”. These meta data fields you can find for filtering further down on the left hand filtering panel, under “Metadata”. However, these fields are strings, so before/after is not supported. 

I noted that the system (CDF) generated Created time value and the custom “Creation Date” for your project differ quite a bit. Do you set the Creation Date after some processing? 

 

Best, 

Sofie, Product Manager.
