Configure Searches
Configuring searches saves users a considerable amount of time, especially when they repeatedly search using the same criteria. These predefined searches apply to each operational map individually, so you can use configured searches for some operational maps and the default search functionality for others.
Add Searches
By adding and configuring searches, you help eliminate the need for users to select multiple feature layers when performing a common search. Doing so also provides the flexibility of searching 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 may 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.
