Basic Search Recommendations: • Search supports asset types such as documents and web contents in the Portal • When possible, enter the entire file name and extension in the search field. For example, “TestDocument.doc” • Use as many key words as possible • Search terms can be titles, descriptions, partial content, or any text associated with a file • Search terms separated by a hyphen (-) are treated as separate terms • Search terms separated by an underscore (_) are treated as one term • Use the wildcard “*” at the end of a search query to expand the list of possible results • Avoid using too many wildcards, or beginning a search string with a wildcard. Doing so can slow the search query considerably

Secure File Exchange (SFX)

Unlike the document library, SFX is intended for document sharing between smaller teams. Security is normally based upon user ID. Your GM contact will set you up

with the appropriate read or write access.

SFX is commonly used by creativity teams to share documents with their suppliers in place of email. You will only see folders that

have been secured for you. SFX will appear empty if you have not been added to any

folders.
