Adding Fields to Type Ahead search

[ishwarya_doss]

Hi Experts,

I'm a novice in Cloud App Studio - C4C. I have a requirement where few fields are to be added to type ahead search.

For eg, when typing the name, its currently showing only ID. But the type ahead search should also show the other few fields like city,country instead of using the OVS and checking it.

Is it possible to make changes to type ahead search. If so, pls share any suggestions to achieve it. Thanks!

Hi,

If only 2 fields can be shown in type ahead, is it possible to concatenate the fields with ; and show that in the type ahead?

Eg. On typing 2 in the field,

it should show 1234 - Name;101 Lake:Illinois

Is it possible to do this way? Pls suggest

Yes, in theory it is possible provided you store the data(with semicolon-separated string) in the same format in the database. In summary, you can pull only 2 fields (ObjectID and ObjectName) at UI from the database. Now it's up to you to decide which 2 fields you want to show and how you want to show.

Hi,

As per the current design, only 2 fields can be shown (Name/Text and Value) for an OVS which is Intellisense enabled. If it is a custom OVS then you can further define which 2 fields you want to show as mentioned here https://blogs.sap.com/2016/07/13/configure-ovs-for-intellisense/ but not more than 1 fields.

Thanks for your response, Saurabh. So it's not possible to add more than 2 fields to Type ahead/Auto complete.

AFAIK, yes It not possible to show more than 2 columns/fields for Intellisense results.
