The overall style of the display (for example, text colors or fonts) is determined by the prevailing style sheet for the iConsole, but these may be overridden using the style attribute to emphasize a particular parameter. For example, you may want to display bold text in a particular column in the Search Results screen. The format of this attribute follows the Cascading Style Sheet Specification (CSS) and is outside the scope of this document.
In addition to parameters that specify the values to be passed to the SP, the search definition may also specify labels to provide guidance and 'helper' parameters that can be used to construct the actual parameters. These helper functions are generally used in conjunction with scripting to derive, or calculate values for hidden parameters. Any script is specified using the script attribute of the <parameters> tag and uses the JavaScript format.
To simplify the search screen layout, infrequently used parameters can be hidden using the hidden attribute. Administrators can make hidden parameters available by using the Administer Searches | Searches page to edit the properties of the search. The Customize button allows hidden parameters to be shown (or vice versa) and the search may then be saved as a derived search.
