Search Columns

Use this field to select the columns that you want to search in each Info Center. Your column selections determine what data Vision looks at when it searches for records that contain your search text.

The columns available for searching vary for each type of Info Center. For example, you want to search on columns in the Opportunity Center. If you select Opportunity Name and the search text you enter displays in the Opportunity Name column of an opportunity record, Vision includes that record in the results list.

You can select as many columns as you like.
