Search for Users By Using Actual Names

You can search for users based on their first name, last name, and email address in addition to their user name.

When you create or update an item, Product Information Management records the Created By and the Updated By user information for the item. In many Product Information Management pages, the user information is available for display and search purposes.

You can also search for items using a complex search criteria that may include the Created By and Updated By fields. To assign a value for these fields, in the Advanced Search region, use the Search and Select window to quickly find the user using a combination of first name, last name, email address, and login user name.

When you want to secure access for the item data such as catalog categories, Product Information Management allows you to search for users and grant them access using drop-down lists. This drop-down list displays the user name, email address, first name, and last name to help you identify the users. The most recently used entries appear on the top of the list.

Additionally, you can use the Search link at end of the list of values to display the Search and Select window. In this window, you can specify the search criteria using a combination of first name, last name, email address, and user name.

In the Search and Select window, all the columns in the results table support dynamic sorting for the displayed data. The search results can be conveniently sorted based on one of the fields to help you identify the required user.

Your saved searches will work correctly if the operator used on a user attribute is Equals or Not Equals. If not, you must modify the saved search.
