This topic describes which mapped properties are returned by the MDEX engine in response to queries.
The MDEX Engine typically returns additional information with a user query request. This information depends on the nature of the query.
Recall that for properties, you can specify two options in the Property Editor of Developer Studio, Show with Record and Show with Record List.
When you specify
Show with Record List, the corresponding
RENDER_CONFIG.XML file is updated. This indicates to the
MDEX Engine which properties it must return as supplemental objects with the
list of records.
In the case of mapped record properties, the MDEX Engine behaves as follows:
It returns only those properties for which you specify Show with Record List in Developer Studio.
It returns these properties consistently in record lists returned as a response to regular user queries, and in record lists returned by the dynamic business rules. (Dynamic business rules enable merchandizing and content spotlighting.)
Note
In terms of XML configuration settings, rule results from the MDEX Engine use the
RENDER_PROD_LISTsetting from theRENDER_CONFIG.XMLfile.
