Filter Asset Search Results

Step by Step Guide

Create an asset type or use an existing one
Make sure the asset type has a component on it that we can use to filter the asset search results on later
For this example I will be using an asset type that has a select component on it with the options of “Show in search results” or “Do not show in search results”
On a workflow add an asset search component and link it to you asset type
Then go onto the advanced editor to edit the asset search component
Under the “properties”: {} property you want to add “entityDataFilters”: {}
You can add multiple filters but for this example I will just be filtering so that only assets that have the value of “Show in search results” will show in the search results of the asset search
Here is the template of what the entity data filters should look like

"properties": {
	"entityDataFilters": {
		"$.dataPathOfAssetComponent": [
			"Value you want to check for"
		]
	}
}

So for this example the correct configuration looks like this

{
  "name": "AssetSearch",
  "label": "Asset Search",
  "description": "",
  "defaultValue": "",
  "dataPath": "$.taskOne.assetSearch",
  "dataSource": "work",
  "isRequired": false,
  "isReadOnly": false,
  "isHidden": false,
  "width": "col-6",
  "condition": "",
  "dataKey": "data",
  "recalculateDefaultValueWhenDataPathChange": [],
  "validation": [],
  "dataPathUpdate": "Auto",
  "properties": {
    "multiSelect": "single",
    "thingType": "ecosystem-exampleAssetType",
    "addNewItem": false,
    "entityDataFilter": {
      "$.shouldThisAssetShowInSearchResults": [
        "Show in search results"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Done!

Now after you publish you will only be able to search for assets that have the value of “Show in search results”
