About Search / Results Display

In this Admin tab you can configure which Activity Fields a user can search by as well as what is returned in their search results. Depending on the Display Area selected, certain Field Types may be prohibited.

Also on this screen you can determine which fields display on the Discrepancy report as well as set fields that should display next to images on Activity reports. You can also set Fields to display in these Report areas from the Activity - Form Designer tab.

Selecting System Names

When adding a "Field" in this area, you actually will be selecting a System Name. A System Name is assigned by the user upon creating a new Field for a Form. System Name can be used once on a Form, but may be repeated on every Form. When you select a System Name for a Search Result Display Area, MetaField will return results for any Activity record with a matching System Name field. However, when you select a System Name for a Filter Display Area, you must also select the Field Type. In this case, MetaField will use this filter to return matching Activity records for this Field Type and System Name combination.
