Using the Search Results Panel :: SAS(R) Information Delivery Portal 4.2: Help

Overview: Using the Search Results Panel

The search results panel appears to the right of the search criteria after you perform a search.

To identify the types of content that were found, look at the icons in the Type column. For an explanation of the icons, see What the Portal Contains.

On the search results panel, you can perform the tasks described in the following topics:

Display Additional Pages of Search Results

If more than one page of search results was found, use these icons to view additional results:

	display the next page of results
	jump to the last page of results
	display the previous page of results
	jump to the first page of results

Note: If you want to bookmark, edit, or delete items that reside on multiple results pages, you must make your changes on only one results page at a time. Any selections on other pages are ignored.

Click Publish, if available on the toolbar, to publish the content to a publication channel or a WebDAV repository.

Delete items below that are contained in collection portlets selected for deletion.

This prompt appears if you are deleting one or more collection portlets, and if the portlets contain one or more content items that you are authorized to delete. These content items are listed in the box below the prompt.
