Search Levels property

The Search Levels property and the Navigation Search Mode property are both deprecated as of the System Platform 2023 release, but remain available in this release to preserve compatibility with applications created in prior versions. To replace and enhance the functionality of these deprecated properties, two new properties, Search Child Levels and Navigation Search Options, were added. To preserve the functionality of the deprecated properties, set the new properties "Search Child Levels" and "Navigation Search Options" properties to "Unconfigured."

The deprecated Search Levels and Navigation Search Mode properties have been moved from the Filter properties category to the Legacy properties category.

Search Levels Property Behavior

The Search Levels property includes four options to search for graphic items in the hierarchy of a ViewApp navigation model starting from the navigation node set as the start node by the Navigation Start Node property. All is the default option to search all hierarchical node levels, which includes the active node of the navigation model and all of its child nodes beneath it.

The remaining options of the Search Levels property set the scope of the graphic search within a ViewApp navigation model to the active node and the number of child nodes (1, 2, or 3) beneath the active node.

The following figure shows the navigation model of a ViewApp with its hierarchy of navigation nodes. The GeoSymbols node contains a set of geographic graphics.

The Search Levels property has been set to SearchesOneLevel. The Navigation Search Mode property is set to CurrentNav.The geographic graphics do not appear in the ContentPresenterApp unless the user sets the focus of the ViewApp to the Plant_Area or GeoSymbols nodes.
