Remove a List by Deleting or Hiding the Underlying Saved Search

You can remove a list from use either by hiding or deleting the underlying saved search. Saved searches are the saved search criteria that generate the list. You can't delete saved searches provided by Oracle; you can only hide them.

Before You Start

1. Create and enter a sandbox with Page Composer as the tool. Other tools don't enable making changes at the job role level, so creating a separate sandbox is a good idea if you're configuring lists for a specific job role.

   1. Navigate to Configuration > Sandboxes.

   2. Click Create Sandbox.

   3. In the Click Create Sandbox page, enter a name and select Page Composer as the tool.

   4. If you're making changes for a specific job role, then specify the job role for Page Composer:

      1. Click Edit in the Support Context column for Page Composer.

      2. In the Edit Sandbox Context window, select the job role.

      3. Click OK.

   5. Click Create and Enter.

      The Sandbox toolbar appears at the top of the page.

2. Navigate to the work area you want to modify.

3. Open Page Composer by selecting the tool from the Tools menu in the sandbox bar at the top of the page.

Hide a Saved Search

Here's how to hide a saved search. This is the only way of removing a list supplied by Oracle from selection in the work area. If you want to hide a saved search that's designated as the default search, then you must first designate a different list as the default.

1. In the work area landing pad, click Show Advanced Search next to the List field to open the Advanced Search panel.

2. From the Saved Search list, select a saved search different from the one you want to hide.

3. Now select Personalize.

4. In the personalize Saved Searches window, select the saved search you want to hide.

5. Deselect the Show in Search List option.

6. Click OK.

   A saved search you hide remains available for future use but doesn't display in the work area. You can restore the saved search to the list in the future by selecting the Show in Search List option.

Delete a Saved Search

Here's how to delete saved searches. You can't delete those provided by Oracle.

Note: If you delete a saved search that's specified as the default, users won't see any lists displayed on the page when they navigate to the work area.

1. In the work area landing pad, click Show Advanced Search next to the List field to open the Advanced Search panel.

2. From the Saved Search list, select a saved search you want to delete.

3. Now select Personalize.

   In the Personalize Saved Searches window, the Saved Searches list displays the name of the saved search you're about to delete.

4. Click Delete.

5. Click OK.

Save Your Work and Publish the Sandbox

1. When you're done making your changes, you must save them by clicking Close in the Page Composer toolbar.

2. Publish the sandbox by clicking the sandbox name and selecting Publish.
