This topic describes the high-level steps involved in configuring the Guided Navigation component.
Before configuring type-ahead suggestions, dimension search wildcarding must be enabled in the MDEX Engine.
The Guided Navigation component is configured via its configuration menu:
To set the Guided Navigation configuration options:
-
After adding a
Guided Navigation component to a page, click
its
.... button.
-
Click
Preferences.
-
Select from the available data sources in the drop-down list, and
then click
Update data source to bind your selection to
the component.
-
In the
Configuration Options panel, check
Enable type-ahead to enable the type-ahead
search box for attributes with many values. When enabling this feature, make
sure that your attributes have been configured to be wildcard searchable.
-
In the
Maximum type-ahead suggestions field, set the
maximum total number of type-ahead suggestions the MDEX Engine will offer. If
fewer results are available, the number returned will be less than this
maximum.
-
In the
Maximum values to show in a single attribute
field, set the maximum number of values per attribute to be displayed. This can
help prevent your end users from being overwhelmed by an excessive number of
results.
-
Check the
Enable automatic attribute updates in end user
view box if you want the end user's view to automatically reflect
attribute changes in the MDEX Engine and in the
Attribute Settings component.
-
In the
Target page field, set the target page for any
page transition. Page transitions allow a component on one page in your
Discovery Framework application to pass data to a component on another page.
- You can configure the Attribute list now. Details are provided in the next topic.
- Click Save Preferences to save your changes.
