Searching for documents with Redact fields
Redact comes with several fields to help make tracking markups applied both inside and outside of Redact easy. You can use these fields in a saved search to view documents that have certain types of markups applied with Redact.
The following fields can be used to track markups:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Redact - Has External Markups | A multi-object field associated with the Markup Set Relativity field. You can use this field to determine if a document was externally redacted and associated with one or more markup sets. |
| Redact - Has Native Highlights | A multi-object field associated with the Markup Set Relativity field. You can use this field to determine if one or many markup sets have spreadsheet or PDF highlights. |
| Redact - Has Manual Native Markups | A multi-object field associated with the Markup Set Relativity field. You can use this field to determine if one or many markup sets have documents with manually placed markups. |
| Redact - Has Native Redactions | A multi-object field associated with the Markup Set Relativity field. You can use this field to determine if one or many markup sets have spreadsheet or PDF redactions. |
