Use Redwood Welcome Template in Oracle Visual Builder

This article illustrates crafting a Search Page utilizing the Redwood Welcome Template within Oracle Visual Builder.

Utilizing the Redwood Welcome Template in Oracle Visual Builder streamlines the creation process of a Search Page, leveraging pre-designed components and structures, which can save significant development time and effort.

While benefiting from the template’s foundation, developers can tailor the Search Page to specific project requirements, integrating custom search functionality and adapting the layout to suit the unique needs of the developed application or website. Below are the steps to implement the use case:

Develop a VB Application by entering the application name and choosing the Redwood Starter Template from the available options as shown in the following screenshot:

3. Click on +icon beside the main and select Create Page as shown in the following screenshot:4. A dialog box will prompt us to input the page ID. Upon scrolling to the bottom, we’ll encounter the Welcome Page template. Select it and click on the Create button as shown in the following screenshot: 5. Now click on main flow, switch to the settings tab, and change the default page from main-start to main-search as shown in the following screenshot:6.

Now navigate to the main-search Page Designer tab, switch to Properties of the page, and add the Page Title as Employee Details as shown in the following screenshot:9. Drag and drop the Input Search from the component pallet to the design area of the page. It will then prompt us to choose a slot, where we should select the Search slot as shown in the following screenshot:10. Go to the properties of the input search, switch to the data tab, and select SearchVar in the value section as shown in the following screenshot:

11. Click on the Data tab below the components, select Employees BO, drag and drop to the default slot, and select Table under rendering options as shown in the following screenshot:

12. Select all the columns you wish to show in the table and click on the Next button as shown in the following screenshot: 13. Now let’s add the search param in the filter criteria to allow the user to fetch data of his choice as shown in the following screenshot: Now when you run the application you should be able to see the screen with the Search field and the table and the user will be able to perform a search by entering values in the search field and filtering the data as shown in the following screenshot: This is how we create a search page using the Redwood Welcome Template in Oracle Visual Builder.
