Getting value attribute in configuration for seatch screen

Hi,

You cant use value attributes for search.

you can do append structure to add your custom field in search structure.

Deepika.

I feare the above post is not entirely correct. You are able to add value attributes to the configuration screen on the UI. These fields however are not supplied to the underlying search class in GenIL. Thus you need to distinguish:

a) you need the field as search criterion in the GenIL class, too. --> Probably go with the solution Deepika suggested.

b) you need the field on UI only and want to react on it there. Could be useful if you need to add or alter search criteria that are already existent when the attribute is set.

For option b)

You need to adjust the method GET_POSSIBLE_FIELDS in your search controller class as well. Usually only the BOL node structure is regarded when it comes to search attributes. Have a look at GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS to provide custom value helps.
