Does anyone know how to use Resources["SearchFunctions"].SearchPeople in ThingWorx?

What does you mean on how it works?

You have a snippet to use it, just on the snippets write SeachPeople and it will pop the SearchPeople snippet if you mouse over you have an explanation of each parameter.

Hi Carles,

I know this function can be copied from snippets. However, I don't know how to set the parameters for this function.

var params = {
maxItems: undefined /* NUMBER */,
searchExpression: undefined /* STRING */,
modelTags: undefined /* TAGS */,
query: undefined /* QUERY */,
aspects: undefined /* JSON */,
excludedAspects: undefined /* JSON */,
maxSearchItems: undefined /* NUMBER */
};

// result: INFOTABLE dataShape: SearchResults
var result = Resources["SearchFunctions"].SearchPeople(params);

Since I don't know it's searching result, I don't know how to set the parameters.

Could you please give me a sample?

Best Regards,

Olivia

var params = {
maxItems: undefined /* NUMBER */,
searchExpression: "El*",
modelTags: undefined /* TAGS */,
query: undefined /* QUERY */,
aspects: undefined /* JSON */,
excludedAspects: undefined /* JSON */,
maxSearchItems: undefined /* NUMBER */
};

// result: INFOTABLE dataShape: SearchResults
var result = Resources["SearchFunctions"].SearchPeople(params).peopleResults;
