This one was a little interesting...and useful - read on: Some background - there is sensitive information in this system. I am not really supposed to say what but I'll just call them "personal unique identifiers" (PUI). For the sake of example let's say the field ID is 12345. These identifiers can go into a case if appropriate.
We do NOT want people to be able to search on the identifier. Consequently I added field 1005 to the form. This is a system field which holds the content of the advanced search bar. When a person is in "Query" mode the denier field is disabled so they can not type in it. If they use advanced search you can run an active link that fires on the search like this: 'Search Bar' LIKE "%PUI%" OR 'Search Bar' LIKE "%$12345$%" You can spit out the appropriate "thou shalt not" error message....HOWEVER - it turns out that adding the search bar field to the view forces the "Advanced Search" button to disabled - this is appropriate because the system field would be on there twice if it was turned on and selected. The answer - add the field to the form but do not have it in the view(s) you are using. Since it's system field it still works correctly in the workflow without being in the view. ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Parrish Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Advanced Search? ** William, I hate to ask the very obvious question, but are you 100% certain that you are attempting to invoke the advanced search bar on a search screen and not on a new screen?

Back that truck up a second - I can't get advanced search to work on ANY form now on the mid-tier. Is there an AR Server setting that prevents it? There's nothing in the mid-tier... ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Howard Richter Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 11:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Advanced Search? ** Its starting to sound like one for support.
