Advanced search hidden parameters

[former_member379476]

Hi,

I am facing an issue with regards to the hidden parameter in IC Web Client Advanced Search UI. In our search application we have a search criteria called BP GUID, but showing a GUID in the UI is not user friendly as a 32 character long string. Is there a way to show this GUIDu2019s associated numeric ID (sort of a mask) in the UI, but in the selection parameter collection that is passed to the backend Search API still keeps the GUID value? Or alternatively, is there a way to add a hidden selection parameter not showing it to the UI but passed to the backend? I searched the UI framework Wiki but didnu2019t find anything relevant. Hope someone could help here....

Thanks

Hi Yue,

Yes you can do so via coding.Just before the search is triggered, you can fetch the guid correspoinding to the BP Number from BUT000 table and pass it to the query in the backend. Just study the code in EH_ONSEARCH event of your view and before the method get_query_result is called, you can pass the guid as search parameter to the query.

Hope it helps!

Thanks and Regards,
