Search Class

Pre-defined behavior for a search can be applied by simply specifying the class attribute of the <search > tag. For the current release, the following search classes are supported:

EventReview

Creates tools for reviewing events and enables the 'Quick View' pane on the iConsole search results page.

The Quick View pane also provides a link to the Context Search which provides a popup window with events in the context of the current event. Searches of this class are subject to Security ID processing if this is configured.

EventReport

Searches of this class are also subject to Security ID processing if this is configured.

Administration

Searches of this class only require an administrative privilege (see the table below).

Each class requires that the user has the correct privileges as defined in the following table:

Class	Type	Required Privileges
EventReview	Metadata	Events: Allow event searches AND Events: View captured data
EventReview	Content	Events: Allow content searches AND Events: View captured data
EventReport	Metadata	Events: Allow event searches AND Events: View captured data

icon: Image for display only.
label: Text for display only.
