11.3.1.2.5 Search Results The search results table is displayed in the same tab as the

Advanced Search page so that the user can view the query they searched by along with the search results. The table, being in the right pane, is always displayed as the full search results table. If your search returns a lot of information, you can hide one or more columns in the search results table. For example, if your table contains 20 columns, you might want to display only the eight most-important columns, so you do not have to keep scrolling through the less important information. To hide one or more columns, open the Search Results pane, click View, and deselect the columns you want to hide. A status message displays along the bottom of all search tables to identify how many columns are currently hidden in a particular table view. Figure 11–3 shows that the user has hidden three columns. Figure 11–3 Advanced Search Result with Hidden Columns The search results does not return deleted users, unless the user explicitly selects the Status attribute in the Advanced Search page and provides a value, Status Equals Deleted. In that case, deleted users will be returned as part of the search results. Organization Equals, Begins With Yes Email Begins With, Equals Yes Start Date Equal, Before, After, Range Yes End Date Equals, Before, After, Range Yes Note: You can configure the attributes that are searchable in User Management Configuration. The searchable attributes configured for advanced search must be a subset of the attributes defined for the User Entity that are marked with the Searchable = Yes property. Table 11–4 Cont.

11.3.2 Creating Users

You can create a new user in Oracle Identity Manager by using the Create User page. You can open this page only if you are authorized to create users as determined by the authorization policy on the Create User privilege on any organization in Oracle Identity Manager. Note: The asterix wildcard character search for the Identity Status field returns only the users with Active , Disabled, and Disabled Until Start Date statuses, but not with Deleted status. To search for users with Deleted status, you must enter Deleted in the Identity Status field.
