Setting up enterprise searches

An enterprise search allows the capability to search across an entire system of database table records or repositories. Define the search criteria for the enterprise search lookup capability across the system by first creating interest centers.

Interest Centers are categories by which to group the search results of the repositories in the Enterprise Search popup or on the Repositories tab.

To set up an enterprise search:

Select Administration > Enterprise Search Setup.
Specify a description of the interest center.
Specify this information:

Interest Center Category

Specify a category for the interest center, e.g., if you specify Work Module as a category, the search results on the Repositories tab will include work order activities, work order parts, service requests, work orders, employees, employee availability, and other records associated with the work module.
Click Save Record.
An Interest Center Code is assigned.
