Highlighted content web part not filtering on refinablestrings
Trying to use the highlighted content wp to show specific content based on custom properties. Some of these are mapped to refinablestrings which I cannot get to show in the managed properties filter ...
Hello Theresa, i was wondering if this is working. I'm having the same issue, tried to edit the Managed Property RefinableString00 but this is not possible. So i made a new Managed Property in which I added the custom property, and made it searchable about 12 hours ago. But I still can not find the managed property when i try to make a filter in the Higlighted Content. Perhaps you do have a suggestion?
Yes, I got this working. However, the interface behaves a bit confusingly and took me a couple of minutes to work out what was going on - so perhaps you're having the same issue?
When I type in the name of the managed property into the 'Find my managed property' field, no options pop-up/appear like I would expect. However the 'Managed Property Name' section expands below this field, and the first field is blank - if you expand it, this is where you will see the managed properties search results - hopefully the one you created will be there.
Other than that, I'm not sure what else could be going on in your situation.
- Hi Theresa, still don't see the option: but i did'nt have all the options 'Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable' checked. Just did, guess i'll have to wait for a few hours again. Thnx for responding! henk.
- In SharePoint Online, you should use the refinablestringxx managed properties and map to your indexed fields, use the alias to create a readable name. You need to first have content in the list and the fields you want to index to add them to the managed property. After you've added them, you need to then Reindex the library to force an update of the managed property, it still can take 24 hours to complete though. Searchable means it is part of a text query in search results, filterable is the key here.
- Ok, thnx for responding. Tried this: but i'm not able to edit any refinablestringxx. I'm SharePoint admin, so this can't be the issue i guess.
