search constraint for field of type name

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using MDM 5.5 sp 06 patch 2. I am using webdynpro with MDM java API.

I have a field of type Name. What should i use as the search constraint for the field of type name like we use textSearchConstraint for the field of type text.

Thanks.

I had tried with textfield search constraint. It Doesn't work....

Hi Jyoti,

Name field type is a part of MDM Extended Field Data Types;

this is nothing but a Text field with internal structure for storing parts of a name (prefix, first, middle, last, suffix).

in Text field type , there is no provision to store data in 5 divided parts like prefix, first, middle, last, suffix, where as in in Name filed type that provision is available;

so you can deal with this filed type as with TextField;

You can use TextSearchConstraint even for this type;
