Configuring the Find Results View

The Find results can be configured to display either in Quick Find mode in the business component view on the right, or under the Search Look In in the Find Results view on the left. The display options differ as follows:

• Quick Find Mode. Displays the Find results in the business component view on the right, and bypasses the intermediate Find results page. For example, if the Find results are configured to display on the right, and the Contacts category is selected for the Find operation, the Find results are displayed on the right in the All Contacts Across Organization business component view. In this mode, the list of Find results is lost when the user drills down on an individual Find result. Preview and Attach features are not available in this mode.
• Results Retention Mode. Displays the Find results in the Find Results view on the left, under the Look-In applet. In this mode, the user can drill down on a record to get the detailed record information displayed on the right hand side, and the Find results are retained under the Look In panel on the left hand side. Preview and Attach features are available in this mode

The Find results view is configured in Siebel Tools.

NOTE:  If Preview or Attach features are required, the Find results must be configured to display in the Find Results view on the left hand side.
