Creation

To create a new Document object, use createDocument in Database.

Access

To access existing documents:

• To get all the documents in a database, use getAllDocuments in Database.
• To get a document based on its position in a view, use a View object.
• To get a document based on its position in a response hierarchy, use a View object. To get all documents that are responses to a particular document, use getResponses in Document. To get a response document's parent document, use getParentDocumentUNID in Document followed by getDocumentByUNID in Database.
• To get all the documents that match a full-text search query, use FTSearch in Database or FTSearch in View.
• To get all the documents in a database that meet search criteria, where the criteria are defined using the formula language, use search in Database.
• To get documents in a database not yet processed by the current agent, use getUnprocessedDocuments, unprocessedFTSearch, and unprocessedSearch in AgentContext.
• To get a document based on its note ID or UNID, use getDocumentByID or getDocumentByUNID in Database.

Once you have a collection of documents, you can navigate to a specific document using methods in the DocumentCollection class.

Saving changes

After you create, modify, or delete a document, you must save the changes by calling the save method. If you don't call save before the program finishes, all of your changes to a Document are lost.

If you create and save a new document without adding any items to it, the document is saved with one item "$UpdatedBy." This item contains the name of the creator of the document.

Encryption

A program attempts to decrypt an encrypted document the first time the program accesses one of the Document properties or methods. If decryption fails, an exception is thrown.
