About DataSearch layouts

Similar to DataView layouts, DataSearch queries can also have saved layouts. Like DataViews, you can rearrange columns, choose to hide or show columns, and hide or show extended captions. DataSearch layouts also display Source and Count information for each DataSearch source queried.  

However, unlike DataViews, DataSearch queries can have only a single saved layout per DataSearch source per scope level. Once saved, that layout is applied to the DataSearch that uses that source every time a user of that scope performs the query, at least, until you delete it.

Also, DataSearch source layouts do not support summaries, calculated columns, grouping or filtering.

The search results (that is, the display of Source and Count) also have a layout, so you can choose how to sort the results. This layout is saved with the other layouts for specific sources. The default vendor layout displays source by count, descending, so the source with the highest count displays first.

Like predefined DataView layouts, you can view and maintain DataSearch layouts on the DataView Layouts form.
