Creating DBQs When you create a Document Broker query (DBQ), you must first select which document types to include in the query. To create a more fine-grained DBQ you must also apply a filter based on metadata values. To create a DBQ 1 Select the document types to include in the query. See Selecting document types. 2 Specify more filter criteria for the query based on metadata values. See Using the metadata filter. 3 Perform a search to list all documents that fulfill the filter specified. See Performing a search. 4 If needed, specify which documents to include in the query. See Selecting specific documents in the DBQ. 5 Generate the DBQ. See Generating DBQs.
