Dear all, i hope you all are fine. I have installed Esri Geoportal 1.2.2 version. I have already integrated my arcgis server rest services in geoportal. The data is now linked with my geoportal. I can find the data in search option. But the problem is I cannot view or link the data in Browser Tree (in catalog). I read a lot of documentation and help file. Basic things are there but i could not find any real example thus I can follow and customize my portal. For example I have Soil data and how I can link it into browser tree? Please give me an example thus i can do the rest.
Thanking you
With best regards

Hi Muqit,
the browse tree can be customized editing the <geoportal>\WEB-INF\classes\gpt\search\browse\browse-catalog.xml file. In this file you can add queries using the rest API of GPT (REST API Syntax · Esri/geoportal-server Wiki · GitHub ).
For example, if you need to display a leaf of the tree showing all records contating the word "Soil", you should add something like:
<item>
<id>38</id>
<name>Search for Soil</name>
<query>searchText=Soil</query>
</item>
There are several things to take care of:
- the Id must be unique within the file
- the <name> can be a string literal (as in this case) or it can refer to a key in the gpt.properties file:
<name resourceKey="catalog.mdParam.somelabel"></name>
In the latter case you can handle multilingual
- also folders in the tree can be clicked, so the query of these elements should include all leaf cases
One additional clue: a very smart way for a one-click search is to use Collections. Collections are a user-defined grouping of metadata, that can be queried with the keyword isPartOf. This gives the ability to "assign" a metadata to a concept indipendently from his content. In your case, for example, you could define a "Soil" collection and assign records to that collection even if they do not contain the Soil keyword.
