Components of a Search

The Vantagepoint Search feature provides components that display depending on the active application when you initiate the search.

Search Navigation Controls

The Search Navigation Controls feature is located at the top of most Hub and application forms. Use these controls and their related components to quickly locate a search in the Saved Searches list, and evaluate data. You can create ad hoc or new searches, page through records, find and select multiple Hub records, as well as view record selections in either List View or Detail View. You can also use Search Navigation Controls to filter and refine search records. For more information, see Use Search Navigation Controls to Filter Records.
