With the Designation Search part, website users can enter key words or select search filters to search for designations. You can choose the type of filters available for the search and you can design the content for the search results display.
Warning: To avoid data conflicts, you can add only one Designation Search part on a web page. You also cannot add a Record Search part to a page that contains a Designation Search part.
You can use the Designation Search part with other parts to create a powerful designation search feature on your website. For example, this is one possible workflow:
| • | The search results include a short description of each designation that meet the search terms. To provide a more detailed description, you can add a link from your Designation Search part to a page that contains a Designation Details part or to another web page that contains more information about the designation. For more information, see Designation Details. |
| • | To guide users to designations based on their interests, add a Suggested Content part. The Suggested Content part recommends designations that match the user’s interests and the tags assigned to parts they have recently accessed. For example, if the user has “Whales” assigned as a user interest on his constituent record and he viewed parts with a “Whales” tag, the Suggested Content part recommends designations dedicated to whales. For more information, see Suggested Content. |
| • | When you add a Payment Summary 2.0 part to your template, users can view all the transactions currently in their shopping carts, including any payments for designations. For more information, see Payment Summary 2.0. |
| • | To include a list of designations that a user donated to in the past, you can include a Query Results Display part. For more information, see Query Results Display. |
