The Find Object


A Find object definition creates one entry that can be added to the Search Center Look In drop-down list, and a corresponding set of find fields and possible views. The find fields and find views are implemented as child object definitions of the Find object.

Most applications already have a list of Find objects, though you may need to perform further configuration based on your business needs.

Table 13 lists the Find object properties.

Applet

The applet that will be used by Find object.

It is required that the applet defined be on every one of the views defined in the Find views for the Find operation to work properly. When configuring the Find object, the choices you have for selecting come from the business component on the applet.
