4.Click Add New Layout. The application displays the Layout Editor.

5.Enter information into the fields:

Field	Description
Display Name	A unique name for this layout.
Enable Simple Search	Makes the simple search text box visible on the workspace. Also known as full-text search, this searches all full-text indexed fields. See About the Different Search Types for more information on how this works.
Use Type Ahead Search	Enables type ahead search. This option invokes a panel listing the results of what the user types into the search box, allowing them to click one of the results.
Search all full-text indexed fields	Only searches in full-text indexed fields. This option is checked by default and enables you to use Partial word results.
Partial word results	Shows partial word results in the Type Ahead panel and the results list.
Search primary display fields only	Limits the search to only the primary display field (as opposed to all full-text indexed fields). Use this option only if the search freezes due to an excessive number of records. Note that the results from this search option will be different from the list results.
Do not sort	Disables automatically sorted results. By default, Type Ahead search results are sorted in ascending alphabetical-numeric order. This might cause a slow-down in getting search results.
Show Saved Search Link	Shows the saved search link (see Using Saved Search).
Enable Saved Search	Shows the list of saved searches with this layout.
Views in this layout	Determines which view initially appears. The chosen views appear in this area. You can add a list view (list) or a form view. See the following procedures for more information on creating these views.
Modal Forms assignment	Automatically populated based on the initial view selected for this layout.
