9.3.0.0

Description

The new field type allows you to select an ordered list of items using a more convenient search dialog with extended filtering features (like facet search or search by a field).

The new field type supports the same data source parameters as Multilist With Search, but also includes:

• EnableSetNewStartLocation - allows dynamic selection of the search location. This functionality is available in the new field type by default.
• PageSize - used to enable paging. Is not required for the new field type as it uses continuous scroll bar.
• StartSearchLocation - doesn't support fast queries.

Compatibility

The release was built for:

• Sitecore Experience Platform 9.3

Instructions

1. Extract the archive to the Website folder of all Sitecore instances in the solution, overwrite existing files if any conflicts occur.
2. Install the attached AdvancedSearchList.Items.zip Sitecore package using Sitecore Installation Wizard, overwrite existing items if any conflicts occur.

After the installation, the new field type Search List appears in the Template Builder.

Multilist With Search replacement

There are two ways how you can replace the Multilist With Search type with the new field:

Change the field type for the field:

1. In Content Editor, open the template item where the Multilist With Search field type is used.
2. Switch to the Builder tab.
3. Modify required fields to use Search List field type instead of Multilist With Search.
4. Publish the template item with its descendants.
