Search filters limit which objects are found by the search. For example, if the object is users, you might limit the search to find only contractors. You can configure a filter to find users with the Employee Type of Contractor.
You can configure the following fields for searches:
Defines additional criteria to be combined with the configured filter to constrain the search.
Note: Due to limitations with provisioning roles searches, these criteria will overwrite filter fields with the same name configured in the search.
Defines a filter that appears when an administrator uses the search screen. For example, if you are configuring a search screen for the Modify Contractor task and you know that administrators typically search for contractors based on the contract firm's name, you can set the default filter to Contract Firm = *. Administrators can override the default filter by specifying different search criteria. Setting a default filter improves performance by limiting the number of results returned if an administrator does not specify a filter before beginning a search.
Specifies that all search results are selected by default. If you check this box, all of the objects in the search results list will appear with a checked box next to the object name.
Specifies that a search criteria box will be displayed along with the search results.
Sets the primary object of the task automatically when only one object matches the search filter.
For example, suppose that this option is selected for a user search screen which is associated with the Modify User task. When an administrator opens the Modify User task and enters a search filter that returns only one user, Identity Manager opens the Modify User task for that user. The administrator does not have to select the user to open the Modify User task.
Specifies that the search filter for the task will be saved. The next time a user searches in the task, the saved search filter will be displayed.
Displays an organization filter on the search screen. If this checkbox is selected, administrators can specify a filter that limits the organizations in which Identity Manager searches for an object. You can specify defaults for the organization search filter by specifying a search screen definition in the Organization Search field.
Specifies that the organization for the task will be saved if an organization was established for the search. The next time a user searches in the task, the organization will be displayed.
Defines the type of search filter that appears on the search screen. When you select this checkbox, users can specify a single search filter, such as <attribute><comparator><value>. When you clear this checkbox, users can specify multiple search filters. For example, <attribute1><comparator><value1> AND <attribute2><comparator> <value2>. Objects that meet the conditions in all of the filters are returned in the search results. In the previous example, objects that include <value1> and <value2> would be returned as search results.
Displays the number of matching search results. If this checkbox is selected, all searches will return the message, "There are X number of results".
Adds a link to another task to the search screen. The link is displayed as a button.
This field is typically used to add a Create task to a search screen that is configured for object-task navigation.
Specifies a label for the task that you selected in the previous field. This label appears on the button for the task.
Adds a link to a task that allows administrators to select multiple objects to delete. The link is displayed as a button.
This field is typically with object-task navigation.
