Need to build a search screen on Landing Pages
Hello Everyone,
We have a requirement where in we need to let users input few values and provide an option to search, On click of Search there should an API call made and the fetched results to be shown to the user.
Please advise how this can be achieved.
Thank you in advance.

@Hari krishna a good question. I would suggest reframing the question slightly to focus on the business outcome "I need to be able to find the right [data instance] to view". This can help think of it in terms of the centre-out model that is required to allow Constellation to achieve this.
To author this outcome you need:
- data object, that is stored on an external system of record
- a landing page
- a List View or Insight focused on the data object
- Promoted filters on that List View / Insight
A few good articles from our Constellation 101 series that can help here - i've bolded the 2 most important for your use case (in my opinion):

@Hari krishna refering to what Marc just wrote, could you kindly take a look on this article: https://community.pega.com/conversations/user-experience/uncovering-the…
Coming back to your use case, we need to step back and understand requirements before solutioning.

@Kamil Janeczek @MarcCheong. Thank you for your inputs.
The business requirement is, we need to be able to see the number of cases created in XY application (XY application is not built on Pega) based on the given criterion.
I should be able to search the cases based on A,B,C.... parameters passed. This option should be available on Landing pages (Not under any case context).
