Creating a Search Category
A search category maps to a search index and defines a category that can be searched against. For example, the categories Solution (Call Center) and Solution (eService) map to the same search index Solution but differ in other attributes like Drilldown View or Filter Search Spec (defined under Search Definition Category object in Tools). See Siebel Tools Reference for further information.
Siebel applications are installed with a default set of Search Categories. If you have a requirement for more search categories, make sure that the following rules and assumptions are followed and that the following properties are included in your object definition.
Users can search on a keyword in Search Center and apply filter fields to that search.
Rules and Assumptions
- Several search categories can be based on the same Search Index, just so that they could define different drilldown views and pick views. For instance, the Solution (Call Center) category, will drill down into Solution Resolution View and the category Solution (eService) to Solution Resolution View (eService).
- Pick views can be defined differently for different search categories. For more information on creating pick views, see Advanced Configuration of Search Operations.
- Preview views can be defined by the eBusiness application user, allowing the user to define the type of pop-up view that will be displayed when Preview button is invoked. For more information on creating preview views, see Creating Preview Views.
Properties
Table 11 lists the properties for the Search Category object.
