Hello!

My org wants to create a new column on the Terms overview page to display items from a referenced object array. Specifically, we want to display Data Protection Classification information there on the overview page in a column. At first, we were told this was not possible, but we have seen this done on another one of our overview pages that displays Policies, which is also a referenced object array.

 

 

This was created for us, and the json from the “Edit Page” screen looks like it is inherited from another entity.

 

{
  "_type": "entity.page.listing",
  "children": {
    "_type": "entity.listing.v2"
  }
}

 

Here is what our current Terms overview page layout looks like:

 

 

And the JSON behind the layout:

 

{
  "_type": "entity.page.listing",
  "children": {
    "_type": "relationships.hierarchyListing",
    "enableSelection": true,
    "columns": {
      "type": {
        "dataPath": "],
        "name": "Type",
        "after": "name",
        "renderer": {
          "_type": "glossary.termType.tableCell"
        }
      }
    },
    "flatListingRenderer": {
      "_type": "entity.listing.v2",
      "renderers": {
        "_default": {
          "columns": {
            "name": {},
            "type": {
              "dataPath": "],
              "name": "Type",
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "glossary.termType.tableCell"
              }
            },
            "abbreviation": {},
            "dqEvalTermAggr": {
              "name": "Overall Quality",
              "extraFetchRules": e
                {
                  "pattern": "./dqEvalTermAggr/*"
                }
              ]
            },
            "stewardship": {
              "name": "Stewardship",
              "extraFetchRules": e
                {
                  "pattern": ".",
                  "entityVersionExtensions": x
                    "stewardship"
                  ]
                }
              ]
            },
            "description": {
              "name": "Definition",
              "dataPath": "
                "businessDefinition"
              ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.richText.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules": e
                {
                  "pattern": "./businessDefinition"
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

 

Any idea how to recreate that Policies column, but with the Data Protection Classification entity? 

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

could you try to add this to your JSON?

		  "dataProtectionClassification": { //name of the section, can be whatever
              "name": "Security Classification", //name that will be displayed as the column name
              "dataPath":   //source data for the field
			       "dataProtectionClassifications", // name of the property in the term entity
			        "name" //name of the property inside the dataProtectionClassification object that stores the display name
			  ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.scalar.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules":  
                {
                  "pattern": "./dataProtectionClassifications/*" //again the name of the property in the term
                }
              ]
            },

I don’t know how exactly are your objects called, so this is an example. // is my comment, so please remove those.

Please let me know if this helps.

Kind regards,

Anna

Hi ​@anna.spakova,

Thanks for the response! I could not quite get this to work. For more background information here is our metadata model for our term entity with the desired object highlighted by the red box:

Clicking into that property shows this object:

So, here is what I tried in the Layout, but could not get to work:

            "dataProtectionClassification": {
              "name": "Classification",
              "dataPath": :
                "dataProtectionClassification",
                "name"
              ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.scalar.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules": :
                {
                  "pattern": "./dataProtectionClassification/*"
                }
              ]
            },

I’m sure I formatted something wrong, or made an error somewhere. Can you spot it here? 

Thanks again!

Hi ​@tyler manawes ,

thanks for the details! So you actually need to use the classifications instead of dataProtectionClassification. Please try this:

            "dataProtectionClassification": {
              "name": "Classification",
              "dataPath": "
                "classifications",
                "name"
              ],
              "renderer": {
                "_type": "entity.scalar.tableCell"
              },
              "extraFetchRules": "
                {
                  "pattern": "./classifications/*"
                }
              ]
            },

You need to use the name of the property array inside term entity, which is called classifications.

Please let me know if this helped!

Kind regards,

Anna

Hi Anna,

I was trying to add the classification details as well and used the same configuration you provided above but the details are still not visible. I have added classification for “Supplier” as seen below:

Vicky Singh

 

I have used both classifications & dataprotectionclassification but no success.

 

Hi ​@Vicky.Singh, thank you for trying, I forwarded the question to our engineering and I will let you know if they provide any advice. I tried several other options, and none seem to work.

Kind regards,

Anna
