Entity list - Search function happening before JavaScript

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello, 

I have created an entity list and page template for my Dynamics Portal, this entity list also uses the search function. I am attempting to search for a full name with just the surname. This is returning a result of 0 contacts. I have attempted to resolve this by adding some JavaScript to add the '*' wildcard.

This method only works on the second attempt due to the search function happening before the javascript adds the wildcard to the search.

Is there a way to delay the search or start the JavaScript first?

Thank you,

Joe.

    Hi, Can you specify your problem better?

    Here the several pieces of advice:

    1) If you doing something with entity list, you need wait until data is loaded, like:

    $(".entity-grid.entitylist").on("loaded", function () {
   //you code goes here
});


    2) to apply search to the list - I think you can do it with metadata filters than you can use something like this to apply metadatafilter when enityt-list ready to update itslef:

    var entitygrid1 = $($("#entitylist1").find("div.entity-grid"));
var entitygrid1_load = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){

    entitygrid1.on("loaded", function () {
       entitygrid1_load ++;
        if (entitygrid1_load == 1)
        {
           $(this).trigger("metafilter",["0={{YOUR SEARCH STRING}}"]);
        }
   });
});
    

    3) very obvious - just use some kind of timer to postpone search operation, like setTimeout(you_func_with_code_to_search, time_in_milliseonds);.
