Creating Custom Result Fields
You can customize certain properties for results fields. For example, for Call Center Definition you may want to allow searching on Summary and Document Text result fields, but for eService Definition you may want to allow searching only on Document Text. Other ways to customize search result fields are as follows:
- To be Used in Search, meaning the specified search keyword will be searched against these columns.
- To be Visible in the search results applet.
- To be displayed with a different Display Name, Widths or Text Alignment.
- To use a different Display Format or Scaling Factor.

Table 20 lists the properties for the Search Custom Result Field object.
