This appendix covers the following topics:
Descriptive Flexfields (DFF) provide customizable expansion space on the EBS Endeca user interfaces and are used to track additional information important and unique to the business that would not otherwise be captured. Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery supports Descriptive Flex Field (DFF) information and enables you to search on DFF attributes.
When a new descriptive flexfield definition has been created, the descriptive flexfield details will be available after the ETL processes complete. DFF support is available by default within the guided navigation component, and you can refine each of the attributes with specific search and selection criteria. You can also search on results tables, charts, and other components by customizing and configuring the application.
Note: For additional information on configuring and customizing flexfields, see the Oracle E-Business Suite Flexfields Guide and Installing Oracle E-Business Suite Information Discovery, Release 12.1 V7 (Doc ID: 2165363.1).
