RSA - Archer - Hide multiple fields in a search result


When performing a search in Archer, the result contains some un-necessary fields. Is there a way to show only fields that belong to Application "General information" ? In other words, there are some fields that are suggested to being added to "General Information" tab which appear in a search result.

I know I can disable these fields by selecting the field, then clicking on "modify field properties", "options" and untick the show field in a search result.

Since I have multiple applications and a lot of fields, doing this will take a lot of time. Is there any script or trick to hide all these fields in a search result?


Solution

  • You could always use the API and create your own search XML to contain only the fields you want to see.

    But short of doing that, I think you've hit the nail on the head. You'll need to go into each application and then modify each of the fields you don't want shown. I don't think it's a waste of time, as you're surely not changing this search result every time... it's a one time deal and if it makes it easier for you or the end users, it's certainly worth it IMO.
