Where-Used Searches

In addition to using the PeopleSoft Search Framework feature to search for content within document library elements, the where-used functionality enables you to search and identify document elements. For example, you can use the Where-Used feature and the PeopleSoft Search Framework feature together by first using PeopleSoft Search Framework searches to identify specific clauses that might contain specific text that you need to edit. Then you can search for sections, configurators, and documents. You can access where-used searches from multiple locations, including the Search Contents component and individual definitional components for clauses, sections, binds, rules, document configurators, question groups, and wizards. Where-used searches are performed using PeopleSoft structured query language and they are not dependent on PeopleSoft Search Framework.

Using maintenance components, you can perform where-used searches for a bind variable, clause, document, document configurator, question group, rule, section, and wizard definition. In addition, after searching for a content type and receiving the search results within an PeopleSoft Search Framework contents search, you can perform a where-used search on specific objects in the results. For example, if you search content type by clause, the system presents a list of clauses, each with a Where Used link. From within the search results, you can click the link to access each instance of a clause's use, such as in a section or configurator. The system displays where-used searches as a hyperlink or an icon, such as in a grid.

Where-used functionality appears in these areas:

• Clause definition.

• Section definition.

• Bind definition.

• Rule definition.

• Document configurator definition.

• Question group definition.

• Wizard definition.

• Word template.
