Allow users to save queries/search parameters in Share

mathewsmotta — Tue, 19 May 2020 12:49:18 GMT

Our Share users currently have a static large list of parameters that they need to manually re-input everytime documents needs to be searched.

Is there any way of users individually saving and loading search/queries in Alfresco share?

Hi @mathewsmotta,

There are Smart Folders, but I don't think they will allow individuals to do as you want? Also Smart Folder have limitations. This thread has some info on usage.

Hi @EddieMay ,

Yeah indeed we've looked into Smart Folders, but they are limited for what we need.

Basically, we have a set of properties from a custom content model and we do some custom search queries using those

Is there perhaps an extension we can make for this?

Hi @mathewsmotta,

Hm, there's no option out of the box, but you can develop your own module. You could take this as your starting point https://github.com/zylklab/zk-dynamic-searches-dashlet.

Hi,

There is a dashlet calles Saved Search.You can try that and you can modify or create replica of same dashlet with your customization.

The dashlet option is a bit hacky, but it does the trick, thanks!
