I have created a new custom type for medical records with a number of properties (patient name, record ID, etc). A couple of these custom properties are visible through the advanced search when the user selects to search only the custom type.

I have several questions:

Is it possible to detect when the advanced search is using a custom type?

Is it then possible to configure the search result columns to show some of the custom properties?

Can the search results be sorted using these properties?

If a property takes a single value from a small set, can the property-sheet for the detail view use a pre-populated dropdown list when in edit mode?

Suppose that I don't use or don't want to display one of the inherited properties such as Author or Description. Is there such a tag as <hide-property name="cm:description" /> to hide "Description" in the customized property-sheet?


Thanks.

No, not out of the box

Yes, you can setup a constraint on the property in its definition file, see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Constraints

Yes, you can add the following whichc effectively hides the property:

<show-property show-in-edit-mode="false" show-in-view-mode="false" />‍

Hope that helps.
