The Search Portal can be configured using either the Admin or the back office (LMS) menus
---
## Where to define what
Elements are defined in the following locations:
| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Element** | **Where defined** |
| Search Portal Layouts | Admin > System & Database Settings > Portal Layouts |
| Full record display | Admin > Database Settings > Result Templates |
| Full record display – which to use | LMS > Record Type View |
| Full record display – copy fields | LMS > Grid View Management |
| Basic search/welcome screen | Portal admin |
| Advanced search screen | LMS (fields)
Portal admin (layout) |
| Search results | Admin > Database Settings >Search Result Templates |
| Search results – export/file/print | LMS - If any of the available reports have 'email', 'file' or 'print' checked, the relevant button will show in the portal |
| Requests | Admin – results body template |
The Search Portal App Pool needs to be recycled in order to see changes made to elements defined in the templates and fields. To do this:
1. In the LMS, click on **Diagnostic > Diagnostic Default**> Macro (inline-media-image)
2. Click the **Cold Restart** button to restart the application on the server. It will prevent users accessing the application for a couple of seconds while it recycles.
## Changing text on the form
When logged in as Soutron System Administrator, on all screens, the ability to change the wording of various text strings, is available:
There is a tool icon at the side of the user name
when the icon is clicked it opens a popup window. Choose to "Show translate buttons"
> Macro (inline-media-image)
A flag icon appears at the side of any text and when clicked opens a window to allow changes to be made for each language used in the Search Portal
