Display Properties

You can configure these display options for the MIDM: the appearance of pages, audit log availability, local ID field labels, and the configuration of the search pages.

Page Display Properties

You can configure several display properties for the pages that appear on the MIDM. For example, you can specify whether certain system fields are visible, the type of object to display on a page, and the name of the tabbed headings. You can also rearrange the order of pages or sub-pages.

Audit Log

In the display configuration, you can specify whether an audit log is maintained of all instances in which object information was accessed from the MIDM. If the log is maintained, then information about each instance of access can be viewed on the MIDM. This is especially useful in healthcare implementations, where privacy of information is mandated.

Local ID Labels

A local ID is a unique identification code assigned to a record by the system in which the record originated. By default, the fields that display the local IDs are named “Local ID” on the MIDM pages. This name can be modified to a name more recognizable by MIDM users.

Search Page Configuration

Of the configurable pages, the pages that might require the most configuration are the search pages. In addition to defining the number of records to display in the search results list, you can also specify the search criteria that appear and the types of searches allowed from the MIDM.

You can define and name several search pages for each primary MIDM window, each with their own configuration. For each search page, you specify groups of fields that are displayed in boxed areas. Each boxed area can represent a different type of search, such as a demographic search, address search, EUID search, and so on. For the Records Details page searches, you must also specify the search types available for each search you define, such as alphanumeric or phonetic. You can configure searches by specifying a name for the search, the maximum number of records to return, whether the results are weighted, and whether wildcard characters can be used.

When you define the search types for the Records Details page of the MIDM, you must specify a query for each type you define. The queries you specify must already be defined in query.xml.
