Order of and columns shown in search results - Categorized Search

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi,

Categorized Search: Search result is not in the same order/does not show the same columns as columns in QuickFind view.

The first 3 columns in the Quick Find View for Entity 1 and Quick Find View for Entity 2 are at present like this;

1. column: A (field in Entity 2 which is a child of Entity1)

2. column: B (field in Entity 1 which is the parent of Entity 2)

3. column: C (field in Entity 2 which is a child of Entity1)

As the sorting of the columns in the Quick Find View can only be done for the Entity to which the Quick Find view belongs to, i.e. I cannot sort on a column that belongs to a related Entity, I have chosen the sorting as follows:

Sorting for Quick Find View for Entity 1: Column B

Sorting for Quick Find View for Entity 2: first Column A, then Column C


However in the search result, the data is shown in this order:

For Entity 1: B, A, C

For Entity 2: D (field in Entity 2), A, B

What could cause this behavior?

    Hi Anne,

    If possible, can you provide some screenshots?

    Have you published all customizations?

    I have found out that if the main field of an entity is among the three first columns in the Quick Find View, it will always be presented on top of the categorized search result no matter the position of the equivalent column it has in in the Quick Find View, e.g. if the main field = the 3rd column in the Quick Find View, it will nevertheless be on top of the categorized search result.

    Is this a defect or is it the way it is supposed to work?
