Activities
You must first create a case search profile in the IMG activity "Create Profile for Case Search". Create a structure with the required attributes for the search and the assignment of the structure to the profile. The search template is structured using the attributes of this attribute profile. You can also define the position of each field in the search screen. In addition, you can activate further selection criteria for each field; these could enable each user to enter a certain range of values. Finally, the resulting profile must be assigned to an element type of a service provider.
You can use the predefined search criteria as follows:
Assign values for some attributes in the option "Predefined Values for Direct Search". Specify X for the connection parameter EXEC_SEARCH_DIRECTLY for the element type in the registry (transaction SRMREGEDIT). When the element type node in the role-based view is double-clicked on the application screen, the search is performed with the specified criteria and the result is displayed directly. You can move the sash down to display the search criteria, make changes to the criteria, and perform the regular search again. If X is not specified for the connection parameter EXEC_SEARCH_DIRECTLY for the element type in the registry, a double-click on the element type node in the role-based view on the application screen opens the locator screen, including search criteria filled with the values specified under "Predefined Values for Direct Search". You can specify more than one value per attribute in the option "Predefined Values for Direct Search". Searches across value ranges are not possible.
You can sort the results as follows:
You can sort the results for one attribute only. The sort order must be numeric. Choose F4 to get the possible values. This attribute must be part of the locator profile (for example, it is specified in the view "Selection Fields"). The sort order can be "Ascending" or "Descending". You can choose whether you want to sort in the database by selecting the checkbox "Sort in Database". Note that database sorts can have a negative effect on the search performance. SAP recommends that you choose this option only the field used for sorting has an active database index. If the checkbox "Sort in Database" is not selected, all results are selected up to the number of hits defined in the database. The sort order is defined by the program logic.
Example
Creates a locator profile ZTEST with standard attributes only, activates the direct search for cases whose title contains the word 'Test', and sorts the results by the time at which the case was last changed.
1. In the view "Profile of Case Search":
