Customizing a search view in the JSP console

Customizing a search view involves minimal changes.

About this task

To customize a search view:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the screen that you want to change, so you can determine its view ID.
  2. Hover your mouse pointer over the screen's view title. The view title's tool tip indicates the view ID.
  3. From the Resource Hierarchy tree, navigate to the view ID and copy it, including the sub-resources when prompted.
  4. Copy the JSP file for the original view into the INSTALL_DIR/extensions/global/webpages/PathOfOriginalJSP/ directory.
    Note: Customizing this view may require other files to be copied into the /webpages folder. A list of these required files can be seen by right-clicking on the entity and getting a JSP List.
  5. From the Resource Hierarchy tree, navigate to your new view. Enter the relative path to your JSP file in the JSP field. For example:
     /extensions/global/webpages/om/order/search/order_search_bystatus.jsp 
  6. If you want your new search view to be the default view, resequence the new view so that the sequence number is a lower number than that of the original view.
  7. Edit your JSP file as needed.
  8. Select the refresh cache icon that fits your needs as follows:
    • If you want to update one entity and its child resources - Select the specific entity and select the Refresh Entity Cache icon.
    • If you want to update all resources - Select the Refresh Cache icon.
  9. Log in to again to test your changes.
