Communication Site - Highlighted Content > Pages > Managed Property Empty
Thanks. I must be missing something...
I created a 1) Site Choice Column, 2) a Site Managed Metadata column, as well as a 3) choice column to the Site Pages list and I have a grayed out Managed Property Name (same as Tyler Bankston) when I tried to filter by Managed Property in the Highlighted Content webpart. I waited 6 hours, so I don't think its due to the site not being crawled/indexed...
If I go to Site Settings > Site Collection Admin > Search Schema, I cannot find the any of the columns I created to 'map them to an available managed property in the search schema'.
I also did the following:
- add values to those columns in the Site Pages
- went into the List Settings > advanced settings > re-index this list
- The pages are published
- I am a site collection administrator
Do I need to use new content types? Can I just use the Page Content type?
I followed the ppt slide pages 41-44 to try to map any of the columns I created, but cannot see them when I go to the Search Schema page.
FYI. I just saw another thread regarding the issues related to search which is currently being investigated by MS team. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Problem-searching-new-pages-within-SPO-SP141856-Can-we-get-an/m-p/205775#M18868
Thank you Devendra Velegandla. Everything started working this morning and per your post, a few other users who had search issues said it was resolved for them, so I believe my issue was related ad I was not able to filter to find my column (mapping properties) and my drop down was grayed out even when I put something in the text box above...so maybe those were reliant on Search?
Thank you Susan_Hanley as your posts/powerpoint helped me with what were trying to accomplish and will be great if we set up an audience targeted column for news...
Thanks!
Check the Page Properties feature out:
We were able to accomplish what we were trying to do with Filtering the News per region or category
I know this thread has been quiet for a while, but I'm having the described issue, and the noted fixes aren't working. Here are the particulars:
--SharePoint Online, Communications Site
--I created a new Content Type (named "Get Informed Page") inheriting from Site Pages
--I created a new Site Column (called "Topic") of type Managed Metadata, and placed it in Custom Columns (though I did end up moving it to Base Columns to see if that would make a difference)
--I told it to use a Custom Term Set, and I added two terms to it
--I attached the "Topic" column to my "Get Informed Page" page
--I created a Get Informed Page, populated the Topic column with one of the designated terms, and Published the page
Then I waited 24 hours. I can't see the Managed Property in the HC web part, nor can I see it if I try to map it to a RefinableString. I have told the site to Re-Index, but still nothing.
This page says that Managed Metadata columns will always (automatically) have a Managed Property created for them:

And this page says that the Managed Property will receive a prefix of "ows_taxId":

Separately, I followed JHerschel's link about structuring metadata. I created a separate column from the Site Pages library, assigned it to all content types, and then populated the field (through Quick Edit) for a few pages. I can't get that one to show up, either.
I admit I am probably missing steps to this process, so I would appreciate someone pointing them out.
