Correlation Search Feature

Correlation searches rely on name-value pairs that define the specific data items you are trying to locate. These defined name-value pairs are tracking points for business processes and documents. The Correlation search feature offers the following benefits:

• You can receive the results of search queries more quickly.
• You can further refine document correlation searches by specifying matching restrictions for the indicated value of a name-value pair.
• You can further refine correlation searches by specifying a start and end date/time range.
• You can further refine EDI correlation searches by specifying a start and end date/time range for All levels.

You can also perform an advanced search for EDI correlations, created when completing document exchange, at the following levels:

• All (all levels of document exchange)
• Interchange
• Group
• Transaction

When you perform a correlations search query, the number of results is limited by a property value. You will receive a message when the number of results exceeds the value. This functionality further speeds search queries. You can change the property value to a number of results that is appropriate for your installation but if you choose to return more results, this may degrade your system processing. More system resources are required when you increase the size of the result set — therefore, if you set the number of results too high when you are processing a very large amount of data, system performance may be adversely affected.
