Navigate Search Bar Focus

[GregOlson]

When using any app (Example: View Drawing) when launched, the system takes you to the search page. How do I get the cursor to automatically be in the search bar. I want users to be able to start typing right away when they see the search bar, no need to click in it before typing.  Not a coder, but I believe this is something to do with autofocus?

You could try looking into Custom CSS applied to that mashup, defining the focus

In composer...what is the name of the search page?

You would not be able to change the CSS styling of the Composer while keeping the support.

Probably not asking the right questions...very new to ThingWorx.  If I go into composer, what do I need to search to get to the navigate search page that I want to customize?

I brought this question to R&D, and learned that the current behavior is hard-coded, and there is no configuration parameter or other attribute that will allow you to change where the focus goes when the page is opened.
