Imagen Syntax Examples:
Record Number
This could return a single record but could contain a range of or list of IDs
"recordID":[Record ID goes here]
Description
This is a standard text search, looking for matches where a certain term has been matched
"Description": "[Description goes here]",
Record ACL
This could be useful when looking for records to which a certain user/group of users have access
User ID(s) below
"writeAccess": [User ID(s) go here],
"readAccess":[User ID(s) go here],
"mediaDownloadAccess":"[User ID(s) go here]"
💡Pro Tip: follow this guide on user management to find your user ID(s)
Record Creation Date and Time
The DateTime of when your record was created. This could be a date range.
"Creation_Date_and_Time": "[2021-01-01T00:01:00Z TO 2021-02-01T00:02:00Z]"
Media Extension
The media extension of any media attached to your records. You may get many results.
"mediaElementExtension":"[jpg mp4 mov etc.]"
Media Archived Time
The datetime of when your media was successfully stored. This will not include failed media.
"mediaArchivedTime":"[2021-01-01 TO 2021-02-01]"
Media Object Number
The Integer ID of your media object
"mediaObject":[Media Object ID goes here]
Original File Name
This is normally the location from which the media was ingested.
"mediaOriginalFileName":"[https://some_server.com/media/example.jpg]"
💡Pro tip: This could be used to return all records where some media has been ingested from a specific location. To do this simply strip out the '/'s, for example:
"mediaOriginalFileName":"[https://some_server.com/*]"
Media Type
This will return all records that contain a specific media type
"mediaType":"[Image][Video][Document"
Media Object State
This will return any records with at least one piece of archived or failed media. This can be used to quickly return all records that have failed media
"mediaObjectState":"[archived][failed]"
Annotations
This will return all records where annotations are present
annotations:[* TO *]
This will return all records where annotations are NOT present
-annotations:[* TO *]
The difference here is the '-' at the beginning of the query. This reverses the query to a negative match
💡Pro Tip: Search queries can be combined by using the AND, OR, NOT, operators
