Registry Customisation in Cloud Settings

You must be an administrator of the Aristotle Metadata Registry to perform these actions.

Registry customisation is used when we want to define a new security classification custom field, and we want it to be an available facet in search.

See the below steps to get better understanding.

• Navigate to the Aristotle Cloud Dashboard from the left side menu.

• Click on Registry Customisation.

• Click on 'Custom Search Filters'.

• Now click on 'New custom search filter'.

• Let’s say you want to create a search facet for a custom field, such as Sensitivity, which is a choice field with options Yes or No.

• Fill out the form according to your custom field settings. See the example below:

• In the screenshot above, you can see an example with fields such as Name, Title, Short Name, and Filter Type filled in or selected.

• Check the Facet box to include this custom field in the search options.

• In the view template, you can copy the code from the example at the top of the screenshot and edit it to suit your needs.

• The example code specifies that if the field is a custom field named Sensitivity, it will display 'Sensitive' as a facet when the value is 'Yes' and 'Not Sensitive' when the value is 'No or other.

• Then, save your changes.

• Now, when you search for any data asset that uses the custom field (e.g., Sensitivity), you will see it included as a facet in the search options.

• For example, in the search below for the data asset '2020 Patient Experience Database,' the Sensitivity facet appears. It shows '4' in brackets, indicating there are four data assets marked as 'Not Sensitive.

• When a new facet is added to the search, we need to refresh the search and reindex it to ensure that it includes all new and existing assets.

• Refer to the help documentation for instructions on how to reindex and refresh the search.https://help.aristotlemetadata.com/administrator-tasks/task-runner/resolving-issues-with-the-search-function-using-reindex
