How to search for assignments

There are many ways you can search assignments in DocRead 365, this guide will explain who has access to the information and where to find it.

How to search in the DocRead cockpit

A compliance manager with DocRead Administrator permissions can find the status of specific assignments in the DocRead Cockpit dashboard.

Several different dimensions are available for further analysis.

• Users : this lists ALL of the users who have been assigned items via DocRead. This may not be everyone in your organization, only those who have received DocRead assignments.
• Groups : this lists ALL of the AD groups that have been selected to have DocRead items assigned to them. If a top level group is used that contains smaller nested groups, only the top level group will be named in this report. DocRead will have created individual assignments for all people in the lower nested groups, which can be found using the assignments/users dashboard options.
• Documents : this lists ALL of the documents or items that have been assigned by DocRead. It doesn’t distinguish between their stored location.
• Audiences : this lists ALL of the global audiences that have been created within DocRead and used to assign DocRead tasks.
• Libraries : this lists ALL of the locations (lists/libraries etc) that currently store items that have been assigned by DocRead.

Search options are available in these dimensions to help you find the specific information you need.
