Search Criteria
You can search for structure names based on different search criteria such as display name, internal name, description or parent structure type. Criteria templates enable you to save frequently performed search criteria based on a list of attributes. Criteria templates for structures enable you to search components within a structure. You can associate with a structure type an existing criteria template for a given item catalog category, or create a new criteria template to search items within a structure. You can specify a default criteria template for each structure type.
Administrators and users can define search criteria for a given structure type. All search criteria defined by administrators are available to all users viewing a structure of the given structure type to which the search criteria is associated. All search criteria defined by a user are only available to that user. On selecting a search criteria, only those components that satisfy the criteria will be listed in the hierarchy and the components that do not match the criteria will be filtered out. Intermediate nodes will be listed even though they might not satisfy the criteria to maintain the context for a lower level component. Primarily search criteria are useful to filter only relevant components in a bill having a large number of components. Search criteria templates can be built using item and component primary, operational, and user defined attributes.
For instructions on how to create and maintain search criteria for structures, see: Managing Search Criteria.
Display Formats
Administrators and users can define display formats for a given structure type. All display formats defined by administrators are available to all users viewing a structure of the given structure type to which the display format is associated. User display formats are only available to that user. Display formats enable users to view attribute information across an entire structure. The display formats can include item and component primary, operational, and user defined attributes. You can define as many results formats as you wish, and you can also denote the most commonly used as the default results format.
