How to add custom search on landing pages to retrieve the records from SOR in Constellation
I understand that, according to the current product design, landing pages can only support list views and not form/partial views. However, I’d like to present a scenario: imagine needing a simple search functionality from an external system or the Pega database containing 20-30 million records. In this case, I wouldn’t want the data page to retrieve all 30 million records through the list view and then filter them using the prompt filter.
This is a common use case in most of enterprise suite of Pega applications, which are implemented using Theme-Cosmos/ui-kit. We typically have a simple search button that queries the system of record with a large volume of data and displays the results to the user. Unfortunately, this limitation is forcing us to reconsider some of our apps in Pega Constellation.
It would be very helpful if Pega Constellation could offer the capability to query the database based on user-entered data and fetch the relevant records for display, without fetching the entire dataset.
