Defining the Search Index Field Maps for Search Tables


The Search Index Field Map object identifies the fields of a business component to be indexed. This object specifies to the search engine the result fields to which the business component fields (or Index Fields) will map. Only result fields marked as Data (Public) can be mapped. The contents of the index fields will be indexed in the search engine result fields. The business component field that is mapped to the summary column must be a required field in the business component. If this field is empty for a record that shows as a search result, then the unique ID will be substituted into the summary field.

NOTE:  Last Updated Time is implicitly added to the DID file and need not be defined in Siebel Tools under the Search Index Field Map object.
