Creating Search Pages

To create a new datasetsearch page, we you need to create a single XML file . Based on the business structure, the respective directories should be created. Based on CRM.COM naming conventions, all datasets are stored in the under: ../pages/search/<module_name>/ directory. An SQL determines the information that will be retrieved and specified fields will be able to be displayed and/or searched for. 

 

In this case, we create a directory named
