Modify a Search Screen

You can modify an existing search screen to:

• Configure search filter defaults
• Modify the fields in search filters
• Modify the fields in search results
• Add help text on the search screen

To modify a search screen

1. In the User Console, select Roles and Tasks, Admin Tasks, Modify Admin Task.
2. Search for and select the admin task to modify.

   CA Identity Manager displays the tabs to configure for the task you selected.

3. Select the Search tab.
4. (Optional) Select the Modified objects must remain in administrator's scope check box.

   When this check box is selected, CA Identity Manager displays an error if changes to the task cause the administrator to lose scope over the primary object. For example, an administrator may use Modify User to change a user's Employee Type attribute to Manager. This change may put the user outside the administrator's scope.

   Note: This option does not appear for tasks that manage roles.

5. Click Browse next to the Screen field.

   CA Identity Manager displays a list of applicable screens.

6. Select the search screen that you want to modify or copy and then click one of the following buttons:
   • Select

     Adds the selected screen to the search that you are configuring

   • Edit

     Opens a new screen where you can change the settings, including fields, field properties, and layout for the selected screen

   • Delete

     Deletes the selected screen

   • New

     Opens a new screen where you can create a screen. The new screen does not include any default fields.

   • Copy

     Creates a new screen using the settings from an existing screen. To create a screen which is based on an existing screen, you add a new name and tag to the screen, and modify the settings as needed.

   • Cancel

     Returns you to the Search configuration screen.

If you selected Edit, New, or Copy, CA Identity Manager opens a new screen where you can create or modify a search screen.
