What is Binocular Search? As soon as we login into the application, we can see a binocular symbol           siebel binocular search (indicating “Search”) as shown below.

This Binocular Search is used for performing search using required Find Object based on various Fields. For Example:- Select the option from the Look In PickList where we want to perform the search. siebel binocular search2

As soon as the option from the Look In list is selected, the fields associated with that particular Find Object(option) gets displayed, based on which search can be performed. Now, we can enter the required value that needs to be searched in the specific field and press “Go” button. This will display all the related records available.

Steps for configuring the Binocular Search are as follows -

1. Create a new find object as shown below (If “Find” object is not present in the object explorer then go to view -> Options -> Object Explorer -> Check Find -> Click “OK”)

    Hi Ayush,
    The reason behind multiple display of find object names in Look In filed is because of configuring more than one find object having same display names such as Account, Contacts.

    Look In List shows the display names of the Find Objects created. You can check this by going to the Find Objects in Tools and Search for “Accounts” or “Contacts” or any other find object in “Display Name” column. You will find more than one find objects with the same display name.

    And in case of search mode all the available options are displayed in the list. You can See in the screenshot in article, In Look In List 2 Contacts options are displayed.

    That is the reason why u see more than one find object with same name. But when u’ll select all the options one by one, you will see the difference that all the objects are not similar.

    U can revert back in case there is some other doubt.

    Hello Vijay,
     
    To resolve multiple entries in the dropdown, please do the following:
    BC: Repository Application Find
    Change search spec to : [Repository Id] = RepositoryId()
    BR,
    Mayank
