ARIS - SHARE YOUR IDEAS
The different search approaches in portal view and repository view can represent a challenge, as they have a visually similar appearance on first sight. Both search bar have the same color and position, yet produce very different results.
While it is understandable that the search in repository view addresses a different - more sophisticated - target audience and therefore could/should/must have additional features, it would be desirable to provide a superset of the portal search using the same UI and producing the exact same results.
Alternatively, a visually clear distinction between portal search and repo search should be established, either by using a different color scheme or by positioning the repo search bar in a different location, for example above the navigation tree instead in the title bar.
Thank you for specifying the problem.
@Guest it sounds to me as if the distinction that was chosen for the repository search (indicating the group folder of the database or just the database name) is not enough and you wish to color code the repo search bar on top of the page?
@Guest from your explanation I read that color coding is desired in order for consumers to distinguish between published content for several databases, e.g. you have a publication of production and of development database and someone using the search needs to understand that results show from both published repositories. Is this understanding correct?
This is a relevant requirement for many customers. As an example, it is important for users to make a distinction between production and development databases. Different color schemes would be very useful.
