Functionality on the Search Output Form

Set columns in the search results

Attribute columns can be created, modified and deleted with the Column settings function. To access this function, select the Column Setup option from the white-space pop-up menu to display the Column Setup form.

Selecting Add Standard Attributes allows the user to add all the standard attributes for the current element. The Visible column allows the user to choose which columns to display or hide. Check the required check boxes to display the columns in the grid.

Note: One column must be left visible.

Using this form, you can change the order of columns, as well as deleting and adding columns.

Note: The changes to the order of the columns will not be shown until a new search is initiated.
