Find Attributes on Item Page

You can search for extended flexfield attributes on the item or document page even when the attribute groups are collapsed. You can also find the next attribute that matches your search criteria.

This is useful when you have to find and edit specific item attributes in items and documents that have a large number of extended flexfields. You can also choose to keep attribute groups collapsed by default to ensure faster loading of item and document pages.

Note:

• To keep attribute groups collapsed by default, your administrator must configure the value for the item profile option ACA_ITEM_EFF_DISPLAY to Collapse All using the Manage Administrator Profile Values task (in the Setup and Maintenance work area).

• The search doesn't mark up Unit of Measure type attributes in a different color and style.

Here's how you find extended flexfield attributes:

1. Enter the text pattern you're looking for in the Find attributes field on the item or the document page, and click the Next button.

   Note: Pressing Enter won't start the search.

   The attribute matching the text pattern appears in a different text color and style for easy identification.

2. To view the next matching attribute, click Next.

   The page automatically scrolls to show you the next attribute that matches the text pattern.

   If a matching attribute is found within an attribute group that's currently collapsed, the group is expanded to show you the attribute.

3. To edit the attribute, move the cursor to the attribute field.

4. To navigate through the attribute search results, click the Previous button adjacent to the search field.
