What’s new in WBA 1.3

WBA provides the following two enhancements:

• Ability to display the Microform field column when browsing WBA.

• Open the parent package of a document while inside the document property window.

WBA Basics

WBA provides a tab-based user interface (UI) to view, search, and create reports. In order to access

WBA, your system must meet the following requirements:

• Internet Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or 8.0 with scripting enabled.

Unexpected behavior may occur for unsupported browsers.

• PDF Reader: Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 or greater

If your system meets the requirements above, access WBA at http://adams.nrc.gov/wba. Figure 1.1

below displays the WBA banner available at that location.

Figure 1.1 - WBA Banner

The tabs in Figure 1.2 are consistently displayed for you

to access documents within WBA. The Folder View tab

allows you to locate records by navigating through folders.

For more information about the Folder View tab, see the

Figure 1.2 - WBA Tabs

section ‘Folder View’. The Content Search tab allows you to search for records based on terms

found within the records or within their metadata. For more information on the Content Search

tab, see the section ‘Content Search’. The Advanced Search tab also allows you to search for records

based on metadata. For more information on the Advanced Search tab, see the section ‘Advanced

Search’.

Within each of these tabs, four buttons are provided: Download, Properties, Export, and Report.

Whether viewing the contents of a folder selected in the Tree Panel or viewing the results of a

Content or Advanced search, these buttons provide you with quick, easy access to four basic

features:

• Download one or more items to your desktop

as a zip file

• View the properties of one item

• Produce a list by exporting one or more items

• Produce a report on one or more items.

Figure 1.3 - Contents Panel Buttons

Note: After an extended period of inactivity, the system may time out. If you are timed out, restart your

WBA session by clicking on your browser's refresh button.

2. Folder View

The Folder View is the default tab shown when you first access WBA. As shown in Figure 2.1 below,

two sections comprise the Folder View tab – the Tree Panel on the left of the screen; and the

Contents Panel on the right. The Tree Panel presents the folders available within WBA. The

Contents Panel displays the contents of your selected folder and provides navigation options as well

as, the ability to manipulate folder contents.

Folder View Tree Panel

Figure 2.1 - Folder View

The Tree Panel is similar to Windows Explorer. Folders are displayed with expandable buttons.

The symbol next to a folder indicates it contains subfolders that you may access by clicking

on the folder. Folders with subfolders displayed, will have a symbol. Folders without

subfolders, as indicated by the symbol, will display their contents in the Contents Panel

when clicked.

Use the scroll bar to move up and down within the Tree Panel. Once you have chosen a folder, you

have the option of hiding the Tree Panel by clicking the double arrows to the right of the word

'ADAMS'. If you would like to make the Tree Panel visible again, click the double arrows.

Contents Panel

Figure 2.2 - Expanding and Collapsing the

Folder View Tree Panel

The Contents Panel displays the contents of the following:

• Within the Folder View tab, the lowest level folder selected within the Tree Panel. This is

the folder with both the month and the date.

• Within the Content Search and Advanced Search tabs, the search results.

Note: Features described for the Contents Panel of the Folder View tab also apply to the Contents Panel

of the Content Search and Advanced Search tabs.

Figure 2.3 below provides an example of the Contents Panel.

3. Searching

WBA searches can be used to retrieve records within the system. Two types of searches are

provided–Content and Advanced. Both of these search options will be reviewed in the sections

below.

Content Search

Content Search provides the ability to query selected documents for terms within document

contents. Content Search is accessed by clicking the Content Search Tab located between the

Folder View and Advanced Search tabs as depicted in Figure 3.1 below.

Figure 3.1 - Content Search Tab

The Content Search tab is broken into two sections–Query Builder Panel and Contents Panel. The

Contents Panel provides the same functionality as the Contents Panel described in the Folder View

section.

You can hide the entire Query Builder Panel by clicking the double arrows in the upper right-hand

corner of the panel. As shown in Figure 3.2, the Query Builder Panel is broken into three different

sections: Document Content, Document Properties, and Libraries.
21

Query Menu Toolbar

Figure 3.2 - Content Search Panel

The Query Menu Toolbar provides the ability to save search criteria; load a previously saved search

criteria; as well as clear search criteria.

Save Search Criteria

To save search criteria; select the option in the toolbar, enter the desired name in the

textbox next to ‘Query name’, then click the Save to File button to save the search criteria to a local

drive.

Load Search Criteria

Figure 3.3 - Save Query Window

To load a previously saved search criteria; select the option in the toolbar; browse for

the query file by selecting the '...' button, chose the file to upload and click the Open button, then

click the OK button to display the selected search criteria in the Query Builder Panel.

Figure 3.4 - Load Saved Query Window
22

Clear Search Criteria

To clear search criteria from the Query Builder Panel, select the option in the toolbar.

This option will remove all search criteria from the Query Builder.

Document Content

The Document Content section provides a textbox where you can provide terms or phrases to be

searched within the contents of a document. It will only return documents that have text matching

the criteria you provide. To the far right of the textbox is an X that can be used to clear terms from

the textbox. You must provide terms in the textbox in order to run a Content Search.

Document Properties

Figure 3.5 – Document Content Textbox

The Query Builder Panel provides the ability to

add property-based criteria to the content

search to construct precise searches. The

properties section enables the selection, and the

addition of up to 20 fields between the two

criteria groups.

The Query Builder Panel allows the selection of

AND/OR criteria for property searches. The AND

group is labeled ‘Match all criteria of group’. The

Figure 3.6 - Document Properties

OR group is labeled ‘Match any criteria of group’. Clicking the More options plus button expands

the section and allows you to see the ‘Match any criteria of group’ section.

To add document properties to your search, click the ‘Click here to select’, select one of the

available properties from a drop-down list, supply the operator (such as ‘contains’, ‘is’, or ‘is less

than’), and specify the criteria. To delete a property click the button to the right of the textbox.

When the property name is selected in either of the groups, the first operator from the drop-down

menu of operators is automatically selected. To change the operator, click on the operator and

then select an operator from the drop-down menu.

Libraries

Currently only the Public Library can be searched using a

content search.

Figure 3.7 - Libraries
23

Running Content Searches

You must provide terms in the Document Contents textbox in order to run a content search. If you

enter more than one search term, WBA will return only those records containing all the terms

entered.

A Content Search query is broken up into terms and operators. There are two types of terms: Single

Words and Phrases.

• A Single Word is a term - to search for single words, just type the words in the textbox such

as ‘test’ or ‘hello’.

• A Phrase is a group of words - to search for a string of words, use double quotation marks to

indicate a phrase such as “hello dolly”.

All the words you put in the Document Content query will be used in the search. Generally,

punctuation is ignored, including @#$%^&()=+[]\ and other special characters. However,

punctuation will not be ignored if it is within a phrase enclosed in double quotation marks (e.g.,

“Test & Verify”) .

Wildcards

Wildcards can be used to represent a single or multiple characters when using the Content Search.

Within WBA, the question mark (?) is used to represent a single character, and the asterisk (*) is

used to represent zero or multiple characters.

The ? wildcard search will retrieve documents containing contents with the ? representing any

single character. For example, the following query will find documents containing poll, or pull, or

pill:

p?ll

The * wildcard search will look for documents containing contents with the * representing 0 or

multiple characters. For example, the following query will find documents containing leak and

leakage:

leak*

Note: Wildcard searches are not applicable to phrase terms, and wildcard characters cannot be a

search's first character.

Document Content Operators

The following operators can be used when using the Content Search.

The AND operator (must be specified using all CAPS) is used when both terms must be present in

the document content. This is the default operator that is used if no other logical operator is

specified. For example, the following query will match documents containing both ‘pollution’ and

‘leak’:

pollution AND leak
24

Note: entering the following value in the Document Content field will result in the same AND search:

pollution leak

The OR operator (must be specified using all CAPS) is used when either of the terms must be

present in the document. For example, the following search will match documents containing either

‘pollution’ or ‘leak’:

pollution OR leak

The NOT operator (must be specified using all CAPS) is used to exclude documents from the results

set if they contain the term immediately following the NOT operator.

For example, the following query will match all documents containing ‘pollution’ except those that

also contain ‘leak’:

pollution NOT leak

Since the NOT operator applies an additional condition to the query, it cannot be used on its own.

For example, the following query will not return any documents:

NOT leak

The group operator is used to group boolean clauses and control boolean logic. For example, the

following query will locate all documents that contain either ‘pollution’ or ‘leak’ in addition to

‘radiation’:

(pollution OR leak) AND radiation

Document Properties Operators

The following operators can be used when searching document properties. The operators available

in the drop down box will depend on the property selected.

Is equal to – retrieves documents with a property value that matches what was entered in the

Value column.

Is not equal to – retrieves documents whose property values to not match what was entered in the

Value column.

Is greater than – specifies that the value of the property must be greater than what was entered in

the Value column.

Is less than – specifies that the value of the property must be less that what was entered in the

Value column.

Is between – specifies that the value of the property must be within a range. This operator is

available when searching by dates.
25

Includes – retrieves documents that contain values, in the property field, that start with what was

entered in the Value column. For example, if this operator was selected for a Document Title search;

it would return documents with titles that contain words that start with the value entered.

of AND/OR criteria for property searches.

The AND group is labeled ‘Match all criteria

of group’. The OR group is labeled ‘Match any

available properties from a drop-down list, supply the operator (such as ‘contains’, ‘is’, or ‘is less

than’), and specify the criteria. To delete a property click the button to the right of the textbox.

When the property name is selected in either of the groups, the first operator from the drop-down

menu of operators is automatically selected. To change the operator, click on the operator and

then select an operator from the drop-down menu.

Date and Time Search

New to WBA is the ability to perform Time searches in addition to just date. To explain how to

perform the following search, we will provide an example. If you select 'Date Added' under

'Document Properties' and select 'Is equal to', you will see a new New date + time control:

Figure 3.17 – Date and Time control

If you manually type into the date with an invalid value, a red squiggle mark appears indicating an

invalid date:

Figure 3.18 – red squiggle indicating invalid date

Pressing the calendar button will cause the calendar to appear (see figure 3.15), select the

down arrow next to the year then use the decade button to switch to the

previous decade. For this example, Select Apr and 2003, then press OK. Then select the 9th on the

calendar control. The dialog box will close and the date will be set to .

Figure 3.19 – Calendar control pages

You can use the drop-down to pick a value within 15 minutes and then manually type a time

value such as 08:51 AM. Click the search button . A range of documents will be returned

that were added at 08:51 AM on the date selected:
32

Figure 3.20 – Results for documents added on 04/09/2003 08:51 AM

WBA has the ability for you to search for documents down to the second. Using the example

provided in Figure 3.16, modifying the query directly and adding :05 to the generated search

create_date: "04/09/2003 08:51:05 AM" will return documents added on April 9th 2003 at

08:51:05 AM when you run the search again.

A date range can be created by adding two date properties and choosing the operators ‘is less than

(or equal to)’ and ‘is greater than (or equal to)’ respectively.
