Specifying Standard EDM Search Page Properties (Repository)

Standard search properties include the type of object returned by each search, the name of the tabbed header for the search pages, and the URL for entry into the search area. These properties apply to all search pages you define, and they can be modified as needed.

To Specify Standard Search Page Properties

1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click the Enterprise Data Manager file.

   The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

2. Scroll to the page-definition element in the gui-definition element.

3. In the eo-search element, modify any of the following elements. Do not modify the tab-entrance element.

   • root-object – The name of the object returned by the search (this must be the name of the parent object).

   • tab-name – A name for the search pages. This name appears on tab label associated with the search pages on the EDM.

   For example:

   <root-object>Person</root-object> <tab-name>Customer Search</tab-name> <tab-entrance>/stcedm/EnterEOSearchSimpleAction.do</tab-entrance>

4. Save and close the file.
