Managing Users 11-33 ■ Performing an Advanced Search Operation

11.3.1.2.1 Advanced Search Page You specify the search criteria in the Advanced Search

page. This page lets you create a search query that consists of multiple criteria. Each criterion consists of: ■ The attribute to search against ■ The search comparator, such as equals and begins with ■ The values to search for The value can be multiple in the case where the comparator requires two or more values. You can specify multiple search criteria if the comparator requires two or more values, for example, range searches on numeric fields or data ranges on date fields. When you specify multiple search criteria, you must specify the AND or OR conjunction operator for the search operation.

11.3.1.2.2 Search Comparators The search comparators that the Advanced Search page

supports are predefined in Oracle Identity Manager. Each comparator specifies the kind of attribute data type it supports, and also the number of input data fields it requires. Table 11–3 lists the comparators supported by advanced search:

11.3.1.2.3 Conjunction Operator The conjunction operators for the search operation are:

■ All: Search is performed with the AND condition. This means that the search operation is successful only when all the search criteria specified are matched. ■ Any: Search is performed with the OR condition. This means that the search operation is successful when any search criterion specified is matched.

11.3.1.2.4 Searchable Attributes Searchable attributes define the set of attributes that

you can use in the Advanced Search page. While creating the search criteria, you can select the attributes that you want to search against from this base list. Only a subset of the searchable attributes, called default fields in Table 11–4 , is displayed by default in the Advanced Search page. You can add additional searchable attributes to the page by using the Add Fields functionality. Each attribute also specifies the comparators it supports.

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.

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.
