Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Directory Search builder
The Directory Search builder provides a way for application users to search for and select people or groups.
Use this builder when you want a portlet to support searching for people or groups in IBM® WebSphere® Portal. The builder is included in the Portal Integration category. Depending on how you set up the builder, it may allow application users to search for groups or individuals and to select one or more names. After users click OK in the Search window, the selected names are placed in a list or an input box, where the names can be used for other tasks.
This builder only works on applications running WebSphere Portal server. In other environments, the builder displays a text field or a list, but does not provide any search or remove capabilities.
