Introduction to Oracle Customers Online
The Dashboard page is the starting point for accessing the customer information that you want to work on. You can quickly find customers, or browse items that you bookmarked or recently viewed. If you do not find a customer, you can create the organization or person.
The type of entity you want to search determines the search criteria and results.
Organization: Customers of type Organization.
Person: Customers of type Person, or persons who are contacts for organizations.
The simple and advanced searches are not case sensitive. You can use the symbol %as a wild card, but it is automatically appended to the end of your entry if the search is not using Data Quality Management (DQM).
Your administrator can set up this search to use DQM, which provides powerful and flexible search functionality. The available search criteria for DQM searches are based on the match rule that your administrator selects.
