It is very difficult to search files in Cognite if you dont know the file name. For example, i wanted to search electrical classification drawing for a methanol unit in CDF. it was practically impossible to find it in CDF. Instead, I had to go to the source system → to find the unit methanol and then find the electical classification drawing under electrical drawing folder. There is no way in CDF to search by document classes and/or filter by unit to narrow the search in a few clicks. Also there is no way to isolate fuzzy searches so that i dont get random stuff.

Hi and thank you for this product idea @ibrahim.alsyed.

I've notified the lead PM for Infield of your idea and expect @Kristoffer Knudsen to follow up as we assess.

To be honest, the request here was for CDF and not specifically for Infield. It applies equally to infiedl too.

Sorry, with the post being tagged for InField, I misunderstood!

 

Have you had a chance to investigate the new search API for Documents (in Beta, going GA)? See https://api-docs.cognite.com/20230101-beta/tag/Documents/operation/documentsSearch

Hi @ibrahim.alsyed

We are still exploring the best solution for better Document Classification and use of it in our frontends, and are working towards being able to give each project control over their document classification rules. 

For Units, we do support in Search the creation of physical units/locations, where on effectively are making a filter on the data for the user. 

I’ll keep you updated on the document classification work - which I know you and Celanese are eager to get implemented! Same with the concept of Location filter - it will soon support adding hierarchies of locations. 

 

Best, 

Sofie Berge
