New Features
Listing Engine: Group by Asset Keyword
Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.1 stable
[ Feature Request #4153 ]
A new option is available in Listing Engine assets such as Asset Listing and Search Page, to provide grouping by keywords.
Like existing grouping options, this can be configured from the Asset Grouping screen of these assets. The keyword used for the grouping is supplied without leading or training percentage (%) characters.
This feature could be used for sorting Data Source record sets, for example, which don't expose their field values as attributes.
TRIM Saved Search: Custom Metadata Fields and Search Logic
Added to: 3.27.0 development, 3.26.1 stable
[ Feature Request #4155 ]
TRIM Saved Search assets now allow queries on custom TRIM metadata fields and allow boolean search logic between these terms to be defined.
A set of known metadata fields which is shipped with TRIM are provided in the TRIM Saved Search options by default. This can be expanded by requesting all available fields from the TRIM system, for use in search queries. A "Retrieve Now" button is available from the Details screen to retrieve these fields.
The Search Logic and Result Fields are expanded, and are configured from the Details screen. The layout is similar to that provided for Search Page assets. Fields may be grouped with a boolean operator, and each group is joined by another boolean operator.
For example:
Group 1
- Search field "AnyWord" for value "Fred"
- AND
- Search field "Title" for value "Test"
OR
Group 2
- Search custom field "Status" for value "Yes"
Groups may be joined only by one common boolean operator, and "NOT" logic is unavailable.
Just like the Search Logic, Result Fields may be composed of standard or custom fields, or both.
Existing TRIM Saved Search assets will be automatically upgraded to maintain expected operation, so no manual reconfiguration is necessary.
Planned Development
No new generic features are currently scheduled for development.
