Configuring key search

Configuring key search in the application requires correct set up in 'Key Search. Open' (CMS030) and ‘Field Alias. Open’ (CMS031). Key search is only available for category search and specific search.

The key search field appears on the index list or data grid looking like a regular category or specific search field. Key search searches in the tables that are connected to the selected key search ID.

Using key search, you can search in other tables than the master table. To configure key search, do these steps:

  1. Open the configuration of the index list or data grid. Make sure you have a data service containing a search field connected to the component .
  2. Click on the Category Search or Specific Search tab.
  3. Click on Create and give the field a name and a custom label.
  4. Click on the magnifying glass in the Connect key search ID. Search for the key search ID you want to use and select the key search ID.
  5. Click Save in the component window.
  6. Then, click Save on the application.
