Configuration Example

For this example, users must access and configure the Node Picker on the References component. Set up a Web UI Reference component within a Node Editor screen. For detailed instructions on setting up the Node Picker, see the Node Picker Dialog in the Web User Interfaces / Web UI Setup and User Guide documentation here.

  1. Enter the Web UI designer. On Reference Properties, click the Edit button to the right of the field on the 'Node Picker Dialog' parameter.

  1. On the 'Node Picker Dialog Properties' window, click the Add... button and add a 'Search Table Tab.' Alternatively, you can edit an existing Search Table.
  1. On the 'Search Table Tab Properties' dialog, click the ellipsis button () beside the 'Target Search Function' parameter, and select your business function from the hierarchy. Click the OK button.

Note: When a Target Search Function is set, the 'Search Plugins' and 'Use Search Plugins For Typeahead' parameters are ignored. These fields are not always present wherever the 'Target Search Function' appears, however.

  1. Save all edits to each component and the screen before exiting the designer.
