Narrow the search criteria by specifying the column against which you want users to
be searched. When an HR agent searches for a user while creating a case, provide more
accurate search results.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to HR AdministrationCase Creation Configuration.
2. Enable the Force partial search option.
3. In priority table name, select a table.
4. In priority column, select a column on which you want to apply the search first.  
   For example, assume you have select last name in priority column. When an HR agent searches for an employee, search is first performed on the last name and then on the other columns.
