Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this, so this may be a silly question:
I currently have a CSV Data Source (with many Data Record Sets) that is the sole root node of an Asset Listing.
The key field of a Data Record Set is "Category", and a user only really needs/wants to see everything of their desired "Category".
Is there any way one can use a search on these record sets on Category (ideally also accepting words with similar meanings to the categories too)?
If not, what way would you recommend to enable users to view only items of the desired category?
I was thinking of just making a Data Source for each category, which isn't ideal, but seems to fit better with how asset listings can be presented.
Cheers!
I suspect you will have a tough time getting a search to work for this as the record is not a true asset and is unlikely to be indexed by matrix. The search asset allows you to search for "Data Source Record Set" which is the asset type you are after but a quick test fails to get any results.
Shane is correct, the record sets are shadow assets and you will lose some functionality like being able to search with Matrix Search and even some (if not all) of the asset listing functionality related to sort ordering.
You could format all the results in page content (use CSS to hide off the screen portal by default) then traverse and manipulate with JS/jQuery and once loaded and JS complete 'show' the results as required including JS generated links/buttons to filter the list as required.
