Remember Search Settings

Learn about the 'Remember Search Setting' feature in CRM.

By default, the user's search settings are saved between sessions in the user's roaming settings. For further details, see User Settings. Users can reset the search settings for a specific search by clicking on (Settings) > Clear/Reset search settings. For further details, see Resetting a Search.

To globally turn off the "remember search settings" feature, uncheck the Search.RememberDynamicFields Web Configuration parameter. For further details, see Search.RememberDynamicField. To override this setting for a specific search action, use the rememberSearch parameter. For further details, see rememberSearch. To ensure that values set in the search mask are remembered enable the Search.RememberSearchValues web configuration parameter, see Search.RememberSearchValues.

The application-wide saving of search settings is determined by the context of the search. The context is defined by the Search&List configuration and the assigned flavor, an optional action parameter. By default, only one flavor "Select" is available. It is automatically assigned to a Search&List configuration when called from within a process.

Example:

The search settings for the person search called via ID_NET_PERSON_SEARCH are saved as "Search/KP".

The search setting for the person search called from within the New Activity process are saved as "Search/KP/Select".

You can assign any other flavor to a custom search action (by defining the flavor action parameter) to save the search settings for this action in a separate container.
