Configure Search Views for Sustainability Activities and Emission Factor Mappings

The Search Views page provides the flexibility to modify and enhance the search experience within Oracle Sustainability based on your specific search needs.

Use the Search Views page to manage the behavior of attributes for keyword search, filters, and results columns on the Sustainability Activities and Emission Factor Mappings pages as follows:

• Keyword Search
  • Enable or disable an attribute for keyword search.

• Filters
  • Enable or disable a filter from appearing on the search page.
  • Control filter chips that’ll be displayed by default when the search page is first launched.

• Results columns 
  • Enable or disable a column from appearing on the search page.
  • Control the columns that’ll be displayed when the search page is first launched.
  • Reorder the sequence of column display.

Default search views are available for the Sustainability Activities and Emission Factor Mapping pages, and you can additionally configure a new view and make that your default view. If you're satisfied with the default search experience, then you don't need to use this feature.

If you plan to perform any of the following actions, then you can set up your own search view:

• Change the default search experience for keyword search, filters, and results columns.
• Add activity type attributes as filters in the Sustainability Activities or Emission Factor Mapping page.
• Add activity descriptive flexfields as filters in the Sustainability Activities page.

Tips And Considerations

• You must make sure that there is always a view marked as default for the associated search pages to launch successfully.
• You can set the order of attributes on the Results Columns only at the time of creating a search view. You can't reorder columns on an existing search view.
• Even if you enable activity type attributes or activity descriptive flexfields for display in the Search Views results column, they won't show up on the Sustainability Activities page. This feature is not currently supported.
