|
Show results with visibility restrictions |
When App Portal performs a search, it performs an “Intellisense” search on keyword, title, brief description and full description, in that order. However, some catalog items may have visibility rules that filter out what a user can see when they search or browse categories. The thing is the "Intellisense" search does not take into account these rules. Instead we show a lock next to items that have visibility rules, it may show in the search but they may not have access to it. Select this option to hide items from showing in the Intellisense search if there are visibility rules applied. Note: IntelliSense is Microsoft's implementation of autocompletion, best known for its use in the Microsoft Visual Studio integrated development environment. In addition to completing the symbol names the programmer is typing, IntelliSense serves as documentation and disambiguation for variable names, functions and methods using reflection. |
