EnterpriseOne Search Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Search feature enables you to search across one or more tables or business views for data that contains your search criteria without the need to navigate to multiple applications. From the search results window you can also drill into additional data related to the selected search result or open an application to get more information on the selected record. EnterpriseOne Search uses configurable Search Groups and the Application Interface Services (AIS) data service to easily search across your business data.

The configurable search groups define:

• The tables or business views that are to be queried

• Columns within the tables or business views you want to search over

• Which columns to include in the search results and how they will be displayed

• Any actions that can be performed on the search results

• Any information related to the search results that resides in another table or business view to be displayed

A search group is a collection of tables or business views to search over. Using the Search Groups Manager, you can design and save search groups for search criteria over any number of tables or business views. For each table or business view within a search group, you can also add conditions to narrow the search results, define and map columns to related information and actions, and add advanced features such as sorting criteria and maximum number of records to be displayed within the search results.

Search groups that you have access to are listed in a drop-down attached to the Search field, which is displayed in the EnterpriseOne menu bar adjacent to your login name. You can switch between the search groups by selecting the one you want from the list.
