AEM 6.4 - DAM Search result columns customization

[sujeetsharma]

We have a requirement to customize the search filters and result columns. Adding new filters was straight forward but can someone share how to add/delete columns in search results header? PFA screen shot.

You can use the "View Settings" tab to add/remove columns from the view.

My question is related to customization.

I know we can add/remove predefined columns. Here are the predefined columns that we get on click of View settings but we want to add our own custom columns. How that can be done?

Hi,

All the column options are available at /libs/dam/gui/content/commons/availablecolumns which is configured through search result configuration dialog /libs/dam/gui/content/commons/configurecolumnsdialog

you can override /libs/dam/gui/content/commons/availablecolumns and add/remove nodes inorder to customise search result.

E.g.

Thanks

Thanks Arun, How CustCol will be mapped to custom dam property jcr:content/metadata/custom_ns:CustCol?

Thanks Arun for sharing this.

Not happy to see these small-2 features missing in the top enterprise level CMS product. . One can add search filters using drag drop components in search form, but for result columns code change will be required. Not sounds good.
