Search Object - List View
This floor plan template applies to search pages which require the results to be displayed in form of a list. The search page allows a user to query on a specific resource defined in the floor plan.
Use Cases
This template is most often used to search relevant items by specifying a search, filter and sort criteria and thereby get a status summary of a set of list items. For example, claims, messages, integrations etc.
It provides an entry to create a new object or to navigate to the details of a single item to view or update them. It is also possible to delete an item directly from the pages using this template.
Few examples of pages that currently use this template:
-
Access Roles Search
-
Dynamic Logic Search
-
Enrollment Product Search (Policies)
-
Integration Search (Oracle Insurance Gateway)
