Searchable User Defined Field in Acumatica - acumatica

Question

I added a few user defined fields to StockItem recently, added values to a few records, then attempted to search by value for them. The search engine is not aware of my UDF values unfortunately.
Is there a way to have user defined fields searchable?

Answer 1

Yes, as Brian indicated we need to add a PXSearchable attribute for the NoteID field of that particular DAC. The below code from the SOOrder DAC file and it may help you to achieve your requirement.
#region NoteID
public abstract class noteID : PX.Data.BQL.BqlGuid.Field<noteID> { }
protected Guid? _NoteID;
[**PXSearchable**(SM.SearchCategory.SO, "{0}: {1} - {3}", new Type[] { typeof(SOOrder.orderType), typeof(SOOrder.orderNbr), typeof(SOOrder.customerID), typeof(Customer.acctName) },
new Type[] { typeof(SOOrder.customerRefNbr), typeof(SOOrder.customerOrderNbr), typeof(SOOrder.orderDesc) },
NumberFields = new Type[] { typeof(SOOrder.orderNbr) },
Line1Format = "{0:d}{1}{2}{3}", Line1Fields = new Type[] { typeof(SOOrder.orderDate), typeof(SOOrder.status), typeof(SOOrder.customerRefNbr), typeof(SOOrder.customerOrderNbr) },
Line2Format = "{0}", Line2Fields = new Type[] { typeof(SOOrder.orderDesc) },
MatchWithJoin = typeof(InnerJoin<Customer, On<Customer.bAccountID, Equal<SOOrder.customerID>>>),
SelectForFastIndexing = typeof(Select2<SOOrder, InnerJoin<Customer, On<SOOrder.customerID, Equal<Customer.bAccountID>>>>)
)]
[PXNote(new Type[0], ShowInReferenceSelector = true, Selector = typeof(
Search2<
SOOrder.orderNbr,
LeftJoinSingleTable<Customer,
On<SOOrder.customerID, Equal<Customer.bAccountID>,
And<Where<Match<Customer, Current<AccessInfo.userName>>>>>>,
Where<
Customer.bAccountID, IsNotNull,
Or<Exists<
Select<
SOOrderType,
Where<
SOOrderType.orderType, Equal<SOOrder.orderType>,
And<SOOrderType.aRDocType, Equal<ARDocType.noUpdate>>>>>>>,
OrderBy<
Desc<SOOrder.orderNbr>>>))]
public virtual Guid? NoteID
{
get
{
return this._NoteID;
}
set
{
this._NoteID = value;
}
}
