Defining Index Field Maps for Search Tables


The Index Field Map object identifies fields of a buscomp to be indexed. This object specifies to the search engine the result fields to which the buscomp fields (or Index Fields) will map. Only result fields marked as Data (Public) can be mapped. Contents of the index fields will be indexed into the search engine result fields. The business component field that is mapped to the summary column should 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 Tools under the Search Index Field Map object. Id is explicitly defined in Siebel Tools.
