Configure the Searchable Fields

Configure the Searchable Fields

You can use the Provisioning tool to configure a field as a searchable field and set the field properties. A search request searches only the fields that you configure as searchable fields.
Multiple searchable fields might affect the performance of the search requests, so configure only the significant fields as searchable fields. For example, configure fields that contain full names, organization names, or email addresses as searchable fields rather than fields that contain country codes, gender codes, or address types.
  1. Open a supported browser, and use the following URL to log into the Provisioning tool: 
    https://<MDM Hub Server host name>:<MDM Server port number>/provisioning/
  2. From the
    Database
     list, select the database for which you want to configure the fields.
  3. Click
    Business Entity
    Modeling
    .
    The
    Modeling
     page appears.
  4. Select
    Business Entities
     from the list, and select the business entity for which you want to configure the searchable fields.
  5. In the tree view, under the business entity, select
    Fields
    , and click
    Create
    .
  6. Configure the following properties based on your requirement:
    Name
    Name that appears in the business entity configuration file for the field.
    Label
    Name that appears in the Provisioning tool tree view for the field.
    Read Only
    Optional. Indicates whether you can edit the field in the Entity View. To configure the field as a non-editable field, select the property.
    Required
    Optional. Indicates whether the field is a required field. To configure the field as a required field, select
    Required
    . By default, the field is not a required field.
    URI
    Optional. Namespace where custom data types are defined. Default is commonj.sdo.
    Type
    Optional. Data type of the field. By default, the data type of the field is the same as the data type of the base object column that you associate with the field.
    Column
    Name of the base object column that you want to associate with the field.
  7. Select

    • Suggester
    • Sortable

  9. Optionally, specify the language for the field values.
    You can specify one of the following languages:
    • chinese
    • japanese
    • korean
    • english
    Default is english.
  10. Optionally, if you select
    Facet
    , in the
    Facet Range
     field, specify the range for the numeric or date fields that you configure as facets in the following format: 
    <Start Value>,<End Value>,<Frequency>
    For example,
    1000,2000,50
    The facet ranges are not visible in the
    Data Director
     application. When you use the REST web service to perform the search, the response can return the facet ranges.
