This service defines which services are searched as part of the Global Search feature in the Aptify web interface. This web form was added for the web interface in Aptify 5.5.1.

Attachments Tab

The Attachments tab lists any files relevant to the Search Configurations record. The tab becomes available when the record is initially saved.

Entities Tab

This tab defines the list of entities that are available for search through the Global Search feature as well as other search parameters including which fields are search within a particular entity and which fields are returned. In addition, organizations can specify an optional stored procedure Stored procedures provide flexibility and the ability to optimize the search above and beyond the generated SQL from the default search.

 

Search Configuration's Entities Sub-type Records

Entities > General Tab

Entity

The name of the entity that is part of this Search Configuration record.

Entity Card

If the specified entity has an entity card, you can specify it here. This field links to the Entity Cards service.

Handler

The default behavior (no Handler defined) is to open the Entity record using the Entity and Record ID. For most search results, this is correct. However, there are some Search Entities where a different operation is required. For My Views and My Wizards, we don't want the Views Record or Wizards record to appear, we want the View to run and display its results. For Wizards, we want the Wizard to execute. We use a JavaScript function, which is the handler, to override the default behavior. Instead of displaying the Entity Record, the function defined in the Handler value is called and it is responsible for the desired action

Search Stored Procedure

Defines an optional stored procedure for the entity search.
