User Description
A description can be shown for each user account that is displayed during a full text index search. The description is turned off by default. It can be turned on in 'SearchDefaults' by changing 'USER/description/@display' to 'true'.
The following describes how the description is generated.
- The description shown is the 'description' column that is stored in the database in the ADCache table.
- The axDescription is used to populate the 'description' column whenever a users cache is updated. The default axDescription points to the users 'description' AD attribute. You may change this attribute to a different attribute. But must resync all the users to update the cache.
- If the axDescription is updated, then the Full Text index must be fully regenerated to get this information.
- It is suggested that the axDescription field be updated during a user update with a short description for the user. (ie %=/title%, %=/phoneNumber%)
