Background:
-
-
The element types feature has provided users with added flexibility when creating grids for different strategies. This means that a user can create different element types to represent the same thing, as an example, a “Retail Chain” could create 3 different elements for 1 of their stores.
-
This means, that 1 Store could have an element for Budget, for Customers and another for Marketing.
-
When users “link” these new elements to a grid or dependencies, it is hard to see which element is the correct one, especially if you have created multiple elements with the same “Store Name”
-
We are changing how the “Search function works in the “Link new element” modal. This modal update must be implemented everywhere where the “Link Element” modal appears:
- In the “grid”
- In the “dependencies”
When a user inputs just the “Element ID”, then the correct element should appear as per the current “Choose Element” - it works the same way.
A user will be able to search by typing any of the following into the search box
- Element ID
- Element Name
- Element Type (eg: Projects - Then all element types “projects” must also appear & elements with “projects” in the name)
We will show the results in the current dropdown in the following way
- First Element ID
- Then Element Type
- Then Element Name
