Customize search results

To include or exclude personal information from the search results, follow these steps:

  1. In your data store, click the Entity tab, and click Users.

  2. In the Users page, click the Schema tab.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. Select or clear the attributes, such as country, to specify whether they're retrievable, searchable, and indexable. To be searchable, the attribute must be marked Retrievable, Indexable, and Searchable.

  5. Click Save.

Preview people search results

  1. If you have already connected the data store to an app, click Apps, and click the name of your app.

  2. Click Preview.

  3. Search for people in your organization using the search bar. The search results show details such as name, job title, email, and profile picture.

    To open your Agentspace Enterprise web app in a browser, see View the search web app.

    Preview the search results.
    Preview the search results.

    If you have made custom attributes searchable, then you can use the attributes in searches, but the attributes themselves aren't returned in profiles. For example, if team-position is a custom attribute and marked retrievable, indexable, and searchable in the schema, then you can search for people with a specific team position, such as "tech lead". You get a list of people who have that position, but the output won't include the words "tech lead".
