Implementing an Indexed Search Content Provider for Existing Task Types
There are two cases where you might want to change from a standard search content provider to an indexed search content provider:
You have created a task with a standard search content provider, but now want to use an indexed search content provider.
You have imported tasks from
Designer Version 8.0 SP2 or earlier into your current workspace; earlier versions did not offer indexed business data, and you want to add this capability.
Note:
You also have the option of implementing both search types. The indexed search provider is part of the task inbox results portlet, so it is possible to create more than one custom inbox portlet and implement a different type of search in each one.
To implement an indexed search content provider in an existing task type that uses the standard search content provider
1. In the Solutions view, open the task in the task editor by double-clicking the task name.
2. On the Overview tab, expand the User Interfaces area if it is not already visible.
3. Expand the Task Inbox Results portlet and click the default view.
4. Click the Update button in the User Interfaces area. The Task UI Update wizard appears with the current properties for the selected element displayed.
5. Click the Update inbox to support indexable fields for selected task UI page option.
6. Click Next.
7. If you want to open the view in the view editor after applying the indexable field option, select the Open updated page in Editor check box.
8. Click Finish. The changes to the task are saved automatically.
If the task you are working with is implemented with the default portlets and user interface configurations (that is, no customization work has been done on it), no further work should be necessary. Otherwise, you are strongly advised to check the following areas before you publish the task type:
