Testing results.
The search can be restricted to objects of a particular type.
This can be done before the search is triggered, either by using the type selector or by typing the object type into the search field and selecting the respective suggestion.
To filter a result list by object type, users can select the type tabs or the respective section in the filter panel.
Here you have to search required apps or objects from the list of Apps.
Search in a specific object type (here: “Sales Orders”)
When the user starts typing in the search field, suggestions appear. There are 3 main suggestion types:
Type suggestions switch the type selector (for example, Search In: Sales Orders).
App suggestions launch the app (for example, App Create Leave Request).
Term suggestions execute a search with the respective terms (for example, Sally).
The result list is a ranked list of all matching items. Different object types can have different representations.
