Search Layout
The Search Layout allows you to configure the fields of records displayed in search results when subscribers perform a global search in your application. This provides a more contextual and streamlined view of relevant data across modules, enhancing the user experience.
To customize the search layout for each module,
- Log into your application and go to Build > Components.
- Shift to the Search Layout tab and select the desired module from the drop-down.
- Click the Edit icon, and you can select the desired fields that have to be displayed.
- Click Save.
The feature is available both in the developer console and subscriber organization.
Packaged Search Layouts
Packaged Search Layouts are created in the developer console and deployed to subscriber organizations during signup or through upgrades. Any new Search Layout that is created in the developer console will be included in the next version of the application.
To know more about packaging, please refer to our guide on Components Packaging in Zoho Vertical Studio.
The following table explains the upgrade behavior of an existing packaged Search Layout already deployed in the subscriber's organization.

Changes and Impacts
When a packaged Search Layout is modified, published, and pushed as an upgrade, it primarily impacts the accessibility of records in the global search's result for subscribers. Changes like adding or removing fields will immediately reflect on the search results.
Ensure to clearly communicate the upcoming changes to the subscribers to avoid confusion and maintain a smooth version roll-out.
