Formatting the Results of a Snapshot Query
You can define how your snapshot query results appear.
By default, results are listed
in order of relevance; that is, those results that most closely match
your
query are listed first. You can change the order in which results
are displayed, limit the number of items returned,
specify a style in which the snapshot portlet will be displayed, and
e-mail
results to users.
- If the Snapshot Query Editor is not already open, open
it now and display the Format Snapshot Query Result page.
- In the Maximum items displayed field,
type the number of items that should appear
on a page.
- In the Order results by drop-down
list, select the property type by which you want to sort results.
For example, you can sort your search results by Content Type
ID or Object Last Modified.
- To select the available fields for display on search results,
under Query Return
Fields, click
Add Query Fields, select the fields you want to add, and click OK.
The fields you add here can be selected in the administrative
preferences of snapshot
query portlets associated with this snapshot query. Selecting all
or a subset of
these fields in the administrative preferences of a particular snapshot
query portlet
determines what end users see in results appearing in that portlet.
- If you want the content snapshot portlet to appear with
a subscribe button that enables
users to receive e-mail about search results, selectEnable
e-mail subscriptions.
Note:
- You must configure an external operation to send e-mail notifications
for this snapshot query. See E-mailing the Results of a Snapshot Query.
- Users receive the e-mail only if their e-mail addresses are available
in their user
profiles.
Next, preview your results.
