Controlling the Fields That Are Available in a Filter
To control the fields that are available in a filter, you use the IsFilterable property of the field in the od_meta_info.xml file. To control the fields that are available in a filter
- Use an XML editor to open the od_meta_info.xml file.
For more information, see Files in the Customization Package.
- Locate the first instance of the element that defines the field you must modify.
For example, in the Contact.Account object, the following element defines the Account Status field:
<field Name='Account Status' Label='Account Status' DataType='DTYPE_TEXT' HasPicklist='yes' PicklistIsStatic='yes' PicklistCollectionType='ACCOUNT_STATUS' PicklistTypeId='PickList_Generic' IOElemName='AccountStatus' />
- Do one of the following:
- To make the field not available in a filter criterion, add the following property to this element:
IsFilterable='yes'
- To make the field available in a filter criterion, add the following property to this element:
IsFilterable='no'
Note that the DataType property must not be DTYPE_ID.
- Repeat Step 2 through Step 3 for each of the other objects you must modify.
For example, the Contact.Account object also includes the account status.
