In addition to archiving and retrieving files to and from GridBank, you can also access what has been already
stored by you in the platform from the SharePoint site you use. You can explore and search your GridBank files
through the GridBank web parts integrated in the SharePoint site. You can not only browse your GridBank
datasets content in the SharePoint site but also perform a quick search for files in your own datasets or Global
Catalog. Searching of GridBank files in SharePoint helps you to find the information you are looking for without
leaving SharePoint. The results of your search can be opened, downloaded, explored, saved in datasets and
legal hold protection can be applied to them. Search results with applied legal hold will be protected from
deletion in GridBank and can be used for internal or external compliance.
Software Requirements
The following is required in order to start using GridBank for SharePoint.
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 9, 10 or 11, Chrome 17.x or later version, Mozilla Firefox 10.x or later
version, Apple Safari 5.x or later version, Opera 11.x or later version.

activated and you have been added to a SharePoint group by a site owner or an administrator. Configured MS
SharePoint application in the Management Console must also have been created before you start browsing
within your GridBank datasets in a SharePoint site. Once you log in to a SharePoint site with activated GridBank
Integration, you will be presented with the following view:

Search GridBank
Search GridBank web part option helps you to find quickly and easily the files you are searching for. The quick
search for files uses the keywords, entered by you, so that it returns results. The specified keywords are
checked in the files’ names, extension and content.
13
GridBank for SharePoint 2013: User Manual
Search Expressions –This search format uses search terms that are typed between double inverted
commas – “keyword1 keyword2”. For example, if you want to search for files containing information
about annual sales, you should simply type in the search field “annual sales” and GridBank search will
return all files containing the exact combination of the specified keywords.
Group Expression – This is another search format that uses double inverted commas for separating
search keywords. The syntax of the group expression format is the following: “keyword1 keyword2”
keyword3. The search performed on the basis of the keywords between the double inverted commas
will return results that contain the exact combination of the specified keywords. Keywords that are not
within the double inverted commas will be treated as an alternative search condition. If the search
expression “keyword1 keyword2” is true and the alternative keyword3 is also true, then the search will
return results for both the expression “keyword1 keyword2” and the alternative search term keyword3.
For example, if you want to search for files, containing “direct costs” investments, the search will
return those containing the exact combination of the words “direct” and “costs” or the word
“investments”, depending on which one is true. If the expression direct costs exists and the word
investments also exists in your files, then the search will return all those that contain direct costs and all
that contain investments. If both direct costs and investments are true (exist in your files), then the
search will return files that contain the expression direct costs and files that contain the keyword
investments.
Note: GridBank Web Access Search does not satisfy search queries including any of the following
characters : "-", "/", "\", ",", ";", ":", "#", "[", "]", "!", "£", "$", "%", "^", "&", "(", ")", "+", "=", "{", "}",
"@", "'", "~", "?", "<", ">", "|", "`".
Note: In Quick Search mode, to speed up the search process, both manually entered and automatic
wildcards are not allowed.

Appendix A: Glossary
Archive
GridBank archives are datasets that cannot be deleted except by administrators and policy management.
Archive use cases include retention for governance and regulatory requirements, reference Information stores,
legal hold, e-discovery and records management.
Briefcase
Briefcases in GridBank are used to keep files and emails from different datasets, mailbox and PST archives in
one place. Files and emails in briefcases can be added, deleted, open and saved.
Library
A library dataset contains files that user has saved to GridBank. Libraries are the equivalent of snapshots and
are static datasets that can be dynamically managed by users and applications. Library use cases include
snapshots of source data, application data in time such as video surveillance, document management system
snapshots, CMS (content management portals) and departmental intranets. Individual data items can be
deleted, but cannot be modified. Libraries are viewed as a dataset, which is a snapshot in time from a source.
Repository
Repositories are working datasets that can be deleted and managed by users, sources and applications.
Individual items can be deleted in repositories. The size of a repository changes over time. Repositories can be
accessed many times and individual items within repositories can be modified or deleted.
Search Results
Search results datasets comprise all search results that you save in GridBank Web Access. Each search result
represents a folder with a list of result items, returned by the search engine in response to your keyword query.
All items include a title, which is a reference to the full file version.
WebDAV
A set of methods based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that facilitates collaboration between users
in editing and managing documents and files stored on World Wide Web servers. WebDAV provides a
framework for users to create, change and move documents on a server (typically a web server or "web
share").
