Hi Community,
maybe some of you know a solution for this scenario.
Every regular ItemType in Aras can be searched through with the Simple/Advanced/AML search in the grid.
In my case I have a couple of federated ItemTypes that links to an external data source (SQL Views). Some of the views are pretty heavy. They connects a lot of tables with millions of datasets, for example measurement values from production test field.
So getting results from the table is slow and performance consuming by default. But only if people search without proper filter values.
Restricting the number of returned results in one option. But even with this restriction users can still play around and trigger a lot of unnecessary searches until they get their required result.
So I am looking for a way to force users entering proper filter values by default. In my case user should always have to specify the required product and a date range.
One idea was, just to not execute a simple search when users do not provide any filter at all. But I haven´t seen an OOTB option for this idea inside Innovator.
One other idea is using a custom search mode that replaces the available Simple/Advanced/AML Search modes available for this ItemType.
Does anyone of you have an idea for a better solution? I somehow assume that there must be a easier solution. All ideas welcomed!
Many thanks!
