You can select an object category on the Search menu to run specific searches for each object type in the database. The object categories automatically return the exposed objects and displays them in the Results grid.

Exposing API Entry Points

API Entry Points are used to expose object types and display them in a results grid. Each configured Entry Point is displayed as a category which is automatically exposed in the Search menu. For more information on how to create an Entry Point, see Exposing objects.

Hiding API Entry Points

If you want to hide an API Entry Point to prevent the item from appearing as an object category in a search menu or on the Home page, use the following steps:

1. Search for the API Entry Point you want to hide, and select Actions > Update.

2. In the Main Details tab, API Entry Point details section:

   1. Select Hide API entry point from list in UI to hide the Entry Point type from the Search menu.

   2. Select Hide from Home Page to hide the Entry Point function tile from display in a feature set.

   Setting these options does not affect relationship navigation. For example, if you hide the DEVTag entry point, you can still navigate the relationships to the areas.

If you want to completely remove an Entry Point from display, you can only do this by terminating it. If you remove the relationship just from the Entry Point to any access groups, the Entry Point will then become available to be seen by all users.
