CAESAR Search Function Changes
While the overall search experience stays the same, new features include:
- On any page where you can search for a person, search results will now include the primary and display (formerly called preferred) name types (if both exist)
- Create saved searches
- Access recently used searches
We expect this change to assist in searching for users and overall make the use of people search a smoother task.
Known CAESAR Issues
We are working with the vendor to resolve these issues as soon as possible and have included this section for clarity.
Issue with search results
- When performing a search that returns only one result , the user still has to click on the single result in order to advance to the expected page.
- When performing a search that returns a large number of rows, only the first 10 are shown instead of the first 100, the option to View 100 is available at the top of the search results.
Issues with the zoom feature
Search windows provide a zoom-out feature that opens the search results in a separate window. Currently this feature does not allow closure of the new window and gives an error when attempting to “Return to Search results".
