Configure Views

Views are used to configure the attributes that will be displayed in the Product Management Search page.

You can select the required view. For example, review an existing design to determine cost factors. An administrator can create a view that contains the costing attributes. The user then can select the view in the Product Management Search page and the costing attributes would be displayed.

When the view is used in a Product Management Search, it also contains additional information that’s used to configure the search.

Views are created based on the primary objects available on the Configure Views page. Each object is a card displaying information about the object. For example, on the Structure page, the views are created for the structure object. All views for the object are displayed when the object card is selected.

Views for Product Management search controls both the attributes that are visible in the search, and the search configuration. The functions of views used for search are:

• Attribute configuration:
  • Attributes that’ll be displayed when the search is first launched, and attributes that can be added to the search results.
  • Sequence of the attribute displayed in the search results.
• Search configuration:
  • Attributes that can be used in keyword search.
  • Attributes that’ll be used to filter the search and the type of filter displayed on the Product Management Search page. For example, if the attribute uses a list of values defined by a value set, the filter type selected will display a list of values from which you can select the value.
