3.Click Yes to make it a global search, if you would like to all users of the selected Security Groups and Organization Units to see it. Select No to save this search locally that is only seen by the person saving it and not by anyone else.
Note: Only the ICM Administrator can create and save a Global Search. However, all ICM users can edit a Global Search that they have access to and save it as a local copy. The user can also choose to inherit the Bulk actions from the global search to the local copy.
4. Specify the Advanced Parameters as follows:
- Smart Link: set it as a smart link to view all documents relevant to this search. Smart links appear as an icon in the Agreement_Details_Page.
- Dashboard Tile: select Yes if you would like to use this saved search as Dashboard Tile. Dashboard Tiles appear on My_Dashboard and show entities in various stages with a numeric value. This value is calculated as a combination of column aggregate and the calculation method you choose. Give the Tile a name and specify the parameters for the numeric value. As the options suggest:
- sum shows the total contract value of all agreements found in the search
- average presents the average contract value of all selected Agreements
- count displays the total number of Agreements found in the search.
Note: A Search defined as a Smart link cannot be set as a Dashboard tile.
- Bulk Actions: use bulk actions to perform a given action on multiple Agreements at the same time. This saves you time by not having to choose each Agreement individually. Select Yes for bulk actions and choose the actions you would like to be able to perform in bulk.
Note: For a global search, the admin needs to create a security group to give the the user access to see that Saved Search in the list and add it as a Dashboard Tile.
