Description

Global Segment

Context Segment

Context Sensitive Segment

In some products, the descriptive flexfields are displayed by default in the Search section, while others are available in the Add Fields menu.

  • Global Segments: Generally available in the Add Fields menu if they're not displayed by default. When a Global Segment is added to a Search Panel, it's displayed before the context segments.

  • Context Segments: Generally available in the Advanced Search section by default.

  • Context Sensitive Segments: Available in the Add Fields menu after you select a context segment value.

  • The segments are displayed in the Search Panel in the following order:

    1. Global Segments

    2. Context Segments

    3. Context Sensitive Segments, after their Context Segment

Note:

  • The list of values on the Add Fields menu lists all descriptive flexfields alphabetically, followed by all other fields alphabetically.

  • If more than one global segment is defined, then all global segments are displayed in the Search panel in the sequence defined by you, the user, followed by context segments.

  • Similarly for context segments, all context segments are displayed in the Search panel in your defined sequence defined order.

  • When context sensitive segments are added to a Search panel, they're also displayed in your defined sequence order.
