Hi Guys!
Here is my scenario:
I have a catalog that lists a bunch of properties that we own; we also have a number of team sites that have references to these properties in word docs, spreadsheets etc. I have implemented managed terms and have a catalog that has columns linked to these terms.
What I am attempting to do is promote the catalog entries to the top of the enterprise search results and would like to have a custom display template. I can get the promoted link to the catalog itself, but say we had a catalog entry:
ID: 100
Property Name: 100 Moonbase Alpha
If a user searches for 100 Moonbase Alpha, I would like enterprise search to return a link to the dispform.aspx for the record 100 Moonbase Alpha based on matching on the Property Name.
I would also like to create a new search hover display template, so if they hover over the link they can get a quick snapshot of the catalog entry.
I will be implementing a custom dispform.aspx to make it pretty and to structure the property information based on user input.
I cannot seem to make this work the way I want: I can promote a link but the dispform.aspx is way down on the search results and a simple link to the catalog appears as a promoted link and search result link also. In theory the only result I would like from the catalog is the link to the dispform.aspx
So rather than post the methods I’ve gone through and pollute any response - I have several questions:
- If this makes sense to you, is this possible to do in SPO?
- What is the best approach to make this work if it is possible?
- Do you have any links or tutorials on this being done?
Sorry I am very new to SharePoint online.
Thanks!
