Customizing Search Results Columns

Code Samples

Example 1: This is an example with 2 column customizations that are not associated to Type/Subtype attributes or Predefined Queries.

{
  "SearchColumnCustoAdminDefinition":[
    {
      "viewId": "My admin column custo 1", 
      "viewDefinition": [
        {
         "uri": "ds6w:label", 
         "width": "auto"
        },
        {
         "uri": "ds6wg:BeadFastener.V_XXX",
         "width": 200
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "viewId": "My admin column custo 2",
      "viewDefinition": [
        {
         "uri": "ds6wg:LPAbstractReference.V_Scale", 
         "width": "auto"
        },
        {
         "uri": "Customer:XXX",
         "width": 300
        },

        {
         "uri": "ds6wg:revison", 
         "width": "auto"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Example 2: The following example shows how to share a column customization between multiple types or Predefined Queries. As we want to reuse the same column customization definition several times, we first define a CustoAliasDefinitions node with:

• An aliasId for this definition.
• The list of columns to use in the viewDefinition array property.

We can then reference this column customization definition using its aliasId, for example alias_custo_1 and associate it with as many types/subtypes or Predefined Queries as required, using their viewId (see step 2.a).

{
  "CustoAliasDefinitions": [ 
    {
      "aliasId": "alias_custo_1",
      "viewDefinition": [
        {
         "uri": "ds6w:status",
         "width": "auto"
        },
        {
         "uri": "ds6w:responsible",
         "width": "auto"
        },
        {
         "uri": "ds6w:release",
         "width": "auto"
        },
        {
         "uri": "ds6w:created",
         "width": "auto"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "SearchColumnCustoAdminDefinition": [
    {
      "viewId": "###3DPart",
      "custoAliasToUse": "alias_custo_1"
    },
    {
      "viewId": "###PLMProductDS",
      "custoAliasToUse": "alias_custo_1"
    }
  ]
}

Example 3: This example contains more column customization definitions.

• In the first one, ###The_Default_Columns is used to define the Admin Default Columns, which will replace the DS Default Columns. The list of columns for this view is defined by custoAliasToUse which refers to The_Default_Columns. This alias definition contains 5 columns: ds6w:status, ds6w:responsible, ds6w:release, ds6w:created, and ds6w:modified.
• In the second one, ###Physical_Product is the association of a column customization to the Physical_Product (prd:*) Predefined Query. For this column customization, the list of columns is directly defined in the view definition. So you cannot share it with another column customization.
• The third one is associated to the 3DPart Predefined Query and uses the list of columns defined for alias_custo_1
• The fourth one is associated to the PLMProductDS type and uses the list of columns listed in alias_custo_2.
  Note: Column customization #4, #5 & #6 use the same column definition, that is alias_custo_2, so if you later modify the list of columns in alias_custo_2, you will actually update all these column customizations at once.
