    Question

    Why can't we find Users by barcode in the Persistent Search Box?

    We use our barcode scanners constantly and it will be convenient when searching for a user to be able to swipe their card into the search menu field and find them.

    Answer

    This identifier value is encrypted and cannot be searched in the Oracle text.
