Search Tab for Report Task

The search screen limits the scope of the task and control the fields that users can search. You can configure the search screen for reports based on whether or not you want to pass parameters dynamically to the reports.

You must create a separate search screen for each of the reports. The search screen defines the parameters that you can use to filter the report data. When you generate a report, based on the search screen configuration, CA IdentityMinder prompts you to enter the parameters to be used to filter report data. Based on your input, CA IdentityMinder connects to the Report Database and retrieves the data that satisfies your criteria.

To enter the search information for a report task, click the Search tab and select a search screen.

Note: Every report has a search screen associated with it. If you do not find the appropriate search screen for your report, create a new search screen. For more information on creating new search screens for reports, see Create Search Screen for Reports.
