In MYOB Document Manager (DM) when searching for documents on the Documents tab of the client, some documents do not appear. This is because the search results only display documents that have been created starting from the Display documents from date.

By default this date is 18 months back from the day's date. Documents created prior to the Display documents from date will not appear in the search results listing.

DM version 4.0.4 introduced a new feature where the date can be set as a practice wide default. The following instructions will step you through changing the default period.

DM versions prior to 4.0.4 will not permit the default period to be changed.
