Working with Related Actions

For components mapped to search definitions, end users can navigate to related actions defined for that component from search results without accessing the main result document. The related actions indicator appears if you've selected the Show Related Actions in Search Results field on the Search Configuration page.

Note:

The related actions indicator appears only for component-level related actions. It does not appear for page-level related actions or for related content. Also, end users will only view related actions to which they have access. If there are none for that search result, the related actions indicator does not display.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Related actions indicator. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

By clicking on the related actions indicator, a related actions popup appears, showing the possible related actions for that user, according to security access.

After clicking a related action, the system displays the target related action as configured by the application (as in, in a modal window, a new browser window, and so on). The system displays the related action interface with the information associated with the search result displayed.
