Oracle Fusion HCM tips and tricks: How to make a saved search available for all users

How to make a saved search available for all users

There was a requirement for one customer to configure a custom search in Person Management to be able to set as default for all users. They wanted to retrieve all employees and contingent workers for certain locations and not to fetch contacts. The point is that every user in the system can personalize a search page and save different search criterias but they are accessible only for that user.

There is a trick how to make a saved search available for the entire population.

You have to create a saved search within a sandbox for the SITE level and then publish it. That’s it.

Below the steps that describe the process:

1. Create a sandbox:
2. Open the Page Composer for the SITE level:
3. Create a new saved search and save it: 
4. Close the sandbox and publish it: 

Now a new saved search is available for all users.

I hope you find it useful.
