Hello, i have to find out a document using Document Name which is uploaded in the past. (which is no longer available). I have looked into different System Logs like 'deletion.log', file_attachment_download, blocked_files.csv and unscanned_files.csv but no luck.
Surprisingly there is no documentation available for Uploaded Documents in system logs. Could you please suggest if I am missing anything here?
Thanks in advance.

Interesting use case ... I would first try to identify how that file was uploaded and which traces an upload would leave in the system. Then follow these traces.
File is uploaded using record related action, a!fileUploadField(). However Process Name is not unique and it is difficult to unarchive more than 1000 instances and go through them. Is there any auditing for File Uploads in Appian?
OK, but that related action does more than ONLY upload that file, I hope. In my world, a file upload always means to store additional meta data to the DB. That is the traces I am talking about.
There is no metadata for this attachment in database as document does not exist anymore. (Hard Deleting Metadata on document removal and Not Auditing File Uploads in Database).
