Enable CBR for class and property definitions

You can specify that Content Based Retrieval (CBR) search for words in string properties as well as words in the content of documents and annotations. For example, you can search for a term in the DocumentTitle property that does not appear in the document content.

To search content and properties you must specifically enable them for CBR. You must enable the class definition before you enable its properties. When you enable a property for CBR, you are can also optionally enable the corresponding class properties in all subclasses of that class.

The classes which can be CBR enabled are Document, Annotation, Folder, and Custom Object, and all subclasses of those classes.

A string property to be searched can be either a singleton string or a string list, and either a user-defined or system property.

  1. If necessary, Configure CBR for this object store.
  2. From the Enterprise Manager tree view, expand the object store node and right-click on the class you want to enable for CBR.
  3. Select Properties from the context menu.
