Adding a Dimension Value List editor

The Dimension Value List editor enables a content administrator to select a list of dimension values from the application data set.

Note

The Dimension Value List editor communicates with the MDEX Engine. In order to enable the editor, ensure that you have enabled communication between Experience Manager and the MDEX Engine.

To add a Dimension Value List editor:

  1. Insert an editors/DimvalListEditor element within editors/DefaultEditorPanel.

  2. Specify additional attributes for the editor:

    AttributeDescription
    propertyName Required. The name of the List property that represents the selected dimension values. The property must be declared in the same template.
    dimensionId Required. The ID of the dimension that the editor applies to.

The following shows an example of a Refinement Menu template that uses two Dimension Value List editors to specify boosted and buried refinements, instead of a Dimension Value Boost-Bury editor: 

{
    "@description": "${template.description}",
    "@group": "Navigation",
    "ecr:createDate": "2016-09-12T17:33:58.404+05:30",
    "@thumbnailUrl": "thumbnail.jpg",
    "ecr:type": "template",
    "defaultContentItem": {
        "lessLinkText": "Show Less Refinements...",

        "@name": "Dimension Navigation",
        "dimensionId": "",
        "moreLinkText": "Show More Refinements...",
        "maxNumRefinements": "200",
        "sort": "default",
        "showMoreLink": false,
        "dimensionName": ""    },
    "editorPanel": {
        "editor": "editors/DefaultEditorPanel",
        "children": [
            {

                "label": "Boost and Bury Dimension Refinements"
            },
            {
                "editor": "editors/DimvalListEditor",
                "dimensionIdProperty": "dimensionId",
                "label": "Boost Records",
                "propertyName": "boostRefinements"
            },
            {
                "editor": "editors/DimvalListEditor",
                "dimensionIdProperty": "dimensionId",
                "label": "Bury Records",
                "propertyName": "buryRefinements"
            },
<!-- additional elements omitted from this example -->
        ]
    },
    "typeInfo": {
        "boostRefinements": {"@propertyType": "List"},

    }
}
