Configuring Search Results Grid Columns in Persistent Searches

Important:

Persistent search, the drop-down menu, and other forms of classic navigation are no longer supported. The default navigational interface for PeopleSoft applications in the current release is based on the fluid banner, which can be used for both classic and fluid applications.

The Persist in Menu property enables you to override the default fields that appear on the persistent search page and explicitly determine which fields the system includes in the search results grid. If you select the Persist in Menu property for any record field in the search record, then you must select the same property for each field, including search key fields, that you want to appear as columns in the search results grid.

Note:

This property, when selected, controls the appearance of the persistent search results grid. Search key fields remain in the menu structure but are hidden from view.

To explicitly define the fields that appear in the results grid for a recent (persistent) search:

1. Open the search record.

2. Double-click the field you want to include in the results grid and select the List Box Item check box to enable the Persist in Menu check box.

3. Select the Persist in Menu check box for the field.

4. Click the OK button.

5. Double-click each additional field that you want to include and repeat Steps 2 and 3.

6. Save the record.

Note:

When you save the record definition, PeopleSoft Application Designer alerts you if your custom configuration exceeds the maximum number of fields that can appear in the search results grid of a persistent search page. This alert is informational.
