Understanding the Search Types Used in Supplier Contract Management Components

The Supplier Contracts menu has these areas from which you can perform searches:

  • Create Contracts and Document, Document Management.

  • Mange Contract Library.

  • Search Content.

Each area uses one of these types of searches:

  • PeopleTools real-time search.

    This type of search is represented by search dialog pages, SQL based where-used search, or both.

  • PeopleSoft Search Framework.

    This type of search is based on search indexes that are built at a particular point in time.

This example illustrates the menu options in the Supplier Contract Management menu.
