Performing a Find Operation in Siebel Open UI

Siebel Find supports real-time database queries on a field-by-field basis. The Find functionality is independent of the search engine. The type of object that you choose from the Look In list determines whether you execute a Find or a Search operation.

Parametric search is supported for the fields of the selected Find category. The results are saved in the Find Results view until a subsequent Find operation is executed. Find results are filtered based on the user's Visibility ID. For more information on data visibility and access control, see the chapter about access control in Siebel Security Guide.
