KMINE documents, that have been transferred, their SAW doc ids start with ucr_na-KMN and have Author of kmine_migrated, so: use "ucr_na-KMN*" in the "Document ID:" field and/or use "kmine_migrated" in the "Author" field and/or to further narrow, to get RCENs, selecting "Public" as the "Disclosure level".
