Step 2: Define the Search Fields

Once you define the search page, you need to specify the fields that appear on the page. Fields are specified in field groups, and each field group represents an area on the search page. All fields specified for a field group appear in the area defined by that group. The label for the area is defined by the description of the field group.

To Define Search Fields

Complete Step 1: Define the Search Page.

In the new simple-search-page element, create a field-group element.

For example:

<simple-search-page>
   <screen-title>Simple Person Search</screen-title>
   <search-result-id>2</search-result-id>
   <search-screen-order>1</search-screen-order>
   <show-euid>false</show-euid>
   <show-lid>false</show-lid>
   <field-group>
   </field-group>
</simple-search-page>

In the new field-group element, create the elements and attributes listed in Record Details Search Field Definition Elements and enter the appropriate value for each.

For example:

<simple-search-page>
   ..
   <field-group>
      <description>Address</description>
      <field-ref>Address.AddressType</field-ref>
      <field-ref>Address.AddressLine1</field-ref>
      <field-ref>Address.AddressLine2</field-ref>
      <field-ref required=“true”>Address.City</field-ref>
      <field-ref>Address.State</field-ref>
   </field-group>
</simple-search-page>

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each field group you want to display on the selected search page.

Continue to Step 3: Specify Search Options.
