V7 Phonetic searches First/Last name

After the version upgrade, I noticed 2 forced uses of the phonetic search for First name/Last name

One change:

  • when using the standard Multiple Workflows feature (WorkflowUpdateRecordEntitiesFormWorkflowUpdateRecordEntitiesForm), the search switched to phonetics.
    • Before the version upgrade

      {479670CF-4D88-4BC2-9CEC-83188FD63C2B}

    • After the version upgrade

      {DDD0176A-93E8-4F18-AB51-0EECA02DC6FF}

      Is it configurable? If not, will a phonetic search by last name be added in a future patch?

A new feature

  • in Assigned Roles > Assign Roles
  • this search also requires entering the first name. A search by last name returns nothing
    • Is it configurable? If not, will a phonetic search by last name/first name be added in a future patch?
  

Hello,

This option is fully configurable.

You can either update the property from the UI or XML.

UI update:

  1. Go to the Directory connector

  2. Select the EntityType “User”

  3. In the “Entity Type”, section update the option “Auto Complete in Pickers”
    Set any property that fits your needs.

XML update:

  1. Add the following XML code to your XML configuration files.
    <DisplayEntityType Identifier="Directory_User" AutocompleteBinding="Directory_User:LastName" ConsolidationMode="Merge" />
  2. Load the configuration.
  3. Reload the connectors or reset IIS.

Thanks—yes, we were inheriting those autocomplete settings from the framework. By adapting those of Directory_User and Directory_UserRecord, that solved our problem.
