How do you create a searchbox (dynamic content) on a dashboard to perform a Keyword search to search for what is on the dashboard (a report that is looking at the sc_item_req table)

Hey,

I need to create a searchbox (dynamic content item) on a dashboard to perform a Keyword search to search for what is on the dashboard (a report that is looking at the sc_item_req table).

I saw someone creating a searchbox to look for CI's on an Incident table but I can't figure out how to do it for my scenario. Any help is much appreciated

Hello Jayvik,

Now that I'm at a computer here is the structure you would need to achieve your goal.

Content Block named RITM Keyword Search:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<g:evaluate var="jvar_mapping" object="true" jelly="true">
    var mapping = [{"table": "sc_req_item", "filterPrepend": "123TEXTQUERY321=", "filterAppend": ""}];
    JSON.stringify(mapping);
</g:evaluate>
<g:macro_invoke macro="ritm_keyword_search" name="StringFilterContentBlock" mapping="${jvar_mapping}" />
</j:jelly>

UI Macro named ritm_keyword_search:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<div id="${jvar_name}_if_display" class="form-horizontal" style="margin:0 10px 15px;">
<input id='${jvar_name}_if_text' class="form-control widget-content" value="" />
</div>
<div id="${jvar_name}_mapping" style="display: none">${jvar_mapping}</div>
<script>
	
    var tables${jvar_name} = JSON.parse($j("#${jvar_name}_mapping").text());
    // Widget information
    var if_obj${jvar_name} = $j("#${jvar_name}_if_display");
    
	//Generate and Set a DashboardHandler ID
    var if_widgetId${jvar_name} = if_obj${jvar_name}.closest(".grid-widget-content")[0].getAttribute("data-original-widget-sysid");
    
    var ${jvar_name}DMH = new DashboardMessageHandler(if_widgetId${jvar_name});
   //Set the text field
	var ${jvar_name}_text = $j('#${jvar_name}_if_text');
    
	// handle the field changes
    ${jvar_name}_text.change(function()
    {
        var filterObj = {id: if_widgetId${jvar_name}, filters: []};
        if (${jvar_name}_text.val().length > 0) {
            for(var t = 0; t &lt; tables${jvar_name}.length; t++)
            {
                
                filterObj.filters.push({
                    table: tables${jvar_name}[t].table,
                    filter: tables${jvar_name}[t].filterPrepend + ${jvar_name}_text.val() + tables${jvar_name}[t].filterAppend
                });
            }
            // add the filter
	        window.SNC.canvas.interactiveFilters.setDefaultValue({
				id: ${jvar_name}DMH, 
				filters: filterObj
				}, false);
            ${jvar_name}DMH.publishMessage(filterObj.filters);
        } else {
			 window.SNC.canvas.interactiveFilters.setDefaultValue({
				id: ${jvar_name}DMH, 
				filters: filterObj
				}, false)
            ${jvar_name}DMH.removeFilter();
        }
    });
</script>
</j:jelly>

Any chance you've taken a stab at this in the new Platform Analytics dashboards?
