The Enterprise Vault
browser search application uses the custom filter and properties
API to access custom properties defined in the Custom Properties.xml
file.
This section shows how the example presentation section entries would be displayed in the US English version of this application.
Figure: Example presentation properties displayed in the browser search page shows the Enterprise Vault browser search with the example custom properties and content categories displayed.
The dropdown box shows the content categories available to be used in searches. These were defined using the <AVAILABLECATEGORIES> element. You can change the content categories listed in the dropdown box, but you cannot change or hide the label, .
Selecting a content category in the box and clicking will return all items that were archived with the selected content category.
The and sections display each group of custom properties (FIELDGROUP) associated with the selected content category. Entering a value for a custom property and clicking will search the custom property index entry of archived items.
To see the additional property details in the search results, must be set to .
If the user selects a different content category, the custom properties available will change.
As RETRIEVE="Y" was set in the definition of the content category, and was set to on the Search page, custom properties in search result items will be displayed at the end of the list of normal message attributes.
Note the following on displaying custom properties in browser search:
If custom properties are to be used in the Enterprise Vault browser search, Internet Explorer security settings must allow cookies for the Enterprise Vault server site.
When changes are made to the custom property configuration, you need to restart the Enterprise Vault Application Pool in IIS Manager.
If the contents of the Custom
Properties.xml
file is changed, searches may return
different results. For example, if an item is indexed using one
content category and the properties included in the content
category are changed, the custom properties returned by subsequent
searches will be different. To ensure you can still search on the
original properties, leave the original content category and create
a new one.
