Task Search (Release 9.2.1.4)
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Task Search feature enables you to search for tasks within the menus for which you have access. If you cannot remember where a task is located, you can use Fast Path to search for a specific task that you need to use.
Before you can perform a Task Search, ensure that the Task Search Feature Security is enabled. See, Feature Security for Task Search (Release 9.2.2.1).
Task Search is performed for the tasks accessed by a role and according to the user language preferences. Task Search is based on Menu Indexing, which identifies the tasks accessed by a role. If you change an existing task or menu, then you have to build the task index by using the Work with Task Index Builds (P90013) application for the changes to be reflected in the Task Search result. See "Working with Task Index Builds (Release 9.2.1)" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Using and Approving User Defined Objects Guide.
The Work with Task Index Builds (P90013) application must exist in your environment to perform Task Search.
Task Search feature requires an EnterpriseOne Application Interface Services (AIS) Server to run. Contact your system administrator if you cannot access or use this feature.
To search for a specific task, enter information about the task in the Fast Path field, and then either click the Fast Path icon or press the Enter key to start the task search execution. EnterpriseOne filters all the tasks for the search request in the task names, task IDs, application IDs, and form IDs and displays results in the Task Search results window.
As Task Search leverages the Fast Path field, the following hierarchy is used to perform the Task Search:
When you have access to Fast Path and enter your input in the Fast Path field, the system first launches the fast path task that you entered. However, if the requested entry is not found, then the system triggers the task search. For example, P0101 is not a valid entry in Fast Path, and therefore a task search is initiated.
When you have restricted view set up for Fast Path and you enter your code in the Fast Path field, the system first launches the application or menu associated with the defined User Defined Codes. However, if the requested entry is not defined in the User Defined Codes application, then the system triggers the task search. For example, AB is a valid UDC entry in the restricted view of the Fast Path, so the system launches the associated Address Book application. P01012 is not a valid entry in the restricted view of Fast Path, so a Task Search is initiated.
When you do not have access to Fast Path and you click the Navigator drop-down menu, the Task Search field is displayed in place of Fast Path. The system then performs a task search on the input you enter in the Task Search field.
The Task Search window displays a list of the tasks along with the task name, task ID, application ID, form ID, and version ID. The search results are sorted on the Task ID. All the matching search entries in the list are highlighted in boldface. The maximum number of tasks displayed in the search result is 100. You can further refine the search result to filter the exact tasks by using the Task Search bar in the result window. You can also use wildcard characters to refine the search.
When you click any task in the search result, the Task Search result window is closed and the corresponding task is opened.
