Indexing Fields to Enforce Catalog Category Visibility

---

You can index fields to enforce existing catalog category visibility rules within your Siebel enterprise.

NOTE:  In its preconfigured state, most search categories in Siebel Search apply catalog category visibility. For these search categories, this means that a record must be associated with an access category for it to be available for searching. Additionally, the Catalog Type should not be set to null to allow the creation of Search Indexes that use Access Control visibility.

Rules and Assumptions

The buscomp field Catalog Category Id should be mapped to Visibility Id result field and the attribute Field Type should be set to Catalog Category.
The Catalog Category Name buscomp field should be mapped to Visibility Info result field and the Field Type set to Catalog Category. The catalog category name is indexed to differentiate similar search results from each other. For example, the solution How to fix a modem may belong to two different catalog categories, and thus may show up twice in the search results when there is a hit. On the UI, these two results are prefixed with the catalog category to which they belong.

NOTE:  These fields are usually available if the buscomp supports catalog visibility. If they are not, they can be added to the business component through suitable joins. See Siebel Tools Reference for information.
