Executing a Search from a Sub-Tab

If you want to, you can have Information Portal perform a search when users click on a sub-tab. (For example, you could have Information Portal search for and display Hot Picks [best sellers list].)

To execute a search from a sub-tab

1 Add the tab or sub-tab you want. (For instructions on adding a tab, see Adding a Tab. For instructions on adding a sub-tab, see Adding a Sub-Tab to a Tab.)
2 In the Additional Parameters field, enter the search that you want Information Portal to execute in this format, including the braces:

{universal_ID=term}

For example, if you wanted Information Portal to search for Hot Picks (best sellers list), you might enter something like this:

{BSL=bestsellers}

3 In the XSL Template field, choose NO associated template, can be used for a URL redirected search.
4 Complete any other fields as necessary. (For instructions, see Changing the Information for a Sub-Tab.)
5 When you finish making changes in Information Portal, restart the Application Server process (JBoss).
