Configure Searches

Configuring searches saves users a considerable amount of time, especially when they repeatedly search using the same criteria. This is an optional step in your configuration that occurs in the Solution Center and allows you to predefine searches. This type of search applies to each operational map individually, so you can use configured searches for some operational maps and the default search functionality for others.

Take it for a drive! (The link opens/switches to the Solution Center app and accesses the Operational Maps tab. Click a map on the left and select Searches on the right.)

Adding and configuring searches provides the flexibility for users to search on any fields in the designated feature layer; whereas with the default search, only the Display Field for each layer is searched. For example, you might configure a search on the Fuse, Dynamic Protective Devices, and Switch feature layers, called Protected Devices, specifying multiple different search fields for each. Users then need only select that configured search and provide their search criteria. ArcFM Mobile does the rest, constructing the appropriate database query based on the configuration.
