Selecting Terminology Search Objects

When you define your search, you select the types of objects to include in your search. You do this by selecting from predefined groups of object types.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Groups of object types.

The PeopleSoft system has already defined each group by associating particular tables in each group. You can see which tables are included in each group by clicking the View Objects button, denoted by the “i” icon.

You can use the Text Search Records page to view additional information about these records. Specifically, you can identify the key fields and the searchable fields.

You can use the same page to change the association between searchable fields and the groups of object types. However, this is not advisable. The only time you should modify the object groups is when you want to add newly created tables to the Application Objects group. The PeopleSoft system provides a PeopleSoft Data Mover script to do this for you.
