Configuring the Search Bar

Users can configure which fields are searchable on a given dashboard. When a user searches for one or more terms in the search bar, the system will search among the selected fields for a result.

Accessing the Search Configuration

To access the search configuration panel, click the gear icon on the right side of the search bar.

Configuration Panel for Search

Example configuration panel for search bar component

To select a field to be included in the search, check the box next to the field. Changes performed here will be applied to the currently shown dashboard.

To reset the search criteria to the default for the persona, click the Reset button in the upper right of the panel.

Default search behavior

Having nothing selected will default to searching all fields.

To enable QR code scanning on the search bar, use the scannable:qr tag on the attribute of the blueprint to be searched.

This will add a QR code icon in the search bar when the attribute is configured to be among the searchable fields. The QR code icon will be hidden if the attribute is not configured to be among the searchable fields.

If a QR code contains multiple terms that need to be parsed prior to search, set the scanTextHandler path in the attribute metadata.

See the attribute documentation for scanTextHandler for more details.

This will save the search configuration to the currently shown dashboard. Use the Advanced button on the search configuration panel to save the configuration to a specific version.
