Usage
Steps | Preview | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choose the search mode by clicking on the arrow (only if several modes have been configured). In simple mode, only attributes configured as searchable and filterable can be used in the search field. |  |
| 2 | Fill in the fields in order to search objects.
If no Object matches the search, the message "no result" will be displayed. Depending on the configuration of the <frozen> and <displayFrozenOperators> properties, you may or not be able to modify the searchable Attributes and the operators in a multicriteria mode. Values are case sensitive. |  |

While the spinner is displayed, the feature is not blocked, it is possible it make search modifications. This method is also visible on all widgets that include a search feature (role assignment widget, role dashboard widget...) |
