  You need to add actions on the part or connect it with some list part...

  That i figured out already, but still the same thing of searching is there.
  In a list you can add the card link, no problem but i can't display all the customers... is a far too long list... so i need something to search on the list or on the card...

  Hi,
  
  in Employee Portal you have four web parts:
  a.) List
  b.) Card
  c.) Header-Line
  d.) Global Search
  
  To implement a search just drag and drop the global search web part on the page. Afterwards you have to setup the search in Navision.
  First you have to setup the search tables (it is a link in the navigation menu). This will setup all tables whereever a search is possible. Then you have to configure the
  a.) Search fields
  b.) Display fields
  
  The search is done in the search fields and the display fields are used to display the results. You have a maximum of 5 display fields.
  
  Then check the global setup of EP and set a search limit of e.g. 20.
  
  Now the basic search configuration is done.
  
  The final step is, to configure the search on each user. Therefore click on "Users" in the main menu and use the menu item "Search configuration". Now you can setup for each table to which web part request this result is mapped. Please notice, that the link to the result web part (e.g. customer card) has to be configured to display this web part request.
  
  Sample:
  User is in SALES group
  Main page: Just the search web part
  /sites/Customer.aspx
  Different web parts, but the first has the customer list, the second has the customer card, both of them are configured with "No initial request" == NO (checkbox is empty).
  
  Then in Navision there should be this in the users search configuration:
  TableNo 18
  Group Code SALES
  WP Request CUSTOMERCARD
  Target Link /sites/Customer.aspx
  
  HTH,
  Rainer

  Thnx for the comments..
  I followed your procedure, but now i got a search window witj in the right corner a field to fill in. Whatever i fill in i get a message 'The filter that you applied did not find any matching records.' and nothing more.

  Hi BGI,
  
  can you please post, on which
  - table
  - fields in that table
  you configured the search?
  
  And which search string did you use?
  
  Sample:
  When searching on customer table (18) on fields No.(1) and Name (2) try to use search string:
  - 10000
  - @*me*
  
  HTH,
  Rainer
