Global Search in the mobile app
Key Takeaway
Global Search needs no setup. To change which fields drive its results, add fields to the Search Layouts of an eligible object, using an eligible field type.
Global Search is the Search icon in the top navigation menu of the Life Sciences Cloud mobile app. Field users search a predefined set of objects and fields in the iPad database and jump straight to a matching record. As a consultant, you need to know three things: which objects and fields Global Search covers, how Search Layouts shape its results, and how Global Search differs from standard search on the iPad.
How Global Search works
Global Search needs no configuration. Users reach Global Search through the "Search" icon in the top navigation menu, and there's nothing to enable before they can use it.
Besides searching, Global Search gives users instant access to recently viewed records. When a user clicks a record in the search results, its record page opens, so users can move quickly between different types of records.
Global Search is available in Lightning Experience. You can use Global Search in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Life Sciences Cloud, the Life Sciences Cloud for Customer Engagement Add-on license, and the Life Sciences Customer Engagement managed package.
