Find Object


A Find object definition creates a searchable Find Category that can be added to the Search Center Look In list, and a corresponding set of Find fields and possible views. The Find fields and find views are implemented as child object definitions of the Find object. Predefined Find objects are provided for each Siebel application.

Applet

Required

The applet that will be used by the Find object.

It is required that the applet defined be on every one of the views defined in the Find views for the Find operation to work properly. When configuring the Find object, the choices you have for selecting come from the business component on the applet.

A TRUE or FALSE value, which if TRUE, highlights this Find object definition in the Search Center list. This property applies only to the initial find operation in the application.

Display Name

The name that will be displayed to the user, such as Accounts.

Drilldown View

The name of the Find object definition. This is referenced when setting up Application Find object definitions that use this Find object definition.
