How to customize and add more EDI fields in the EDI X12 Message Search Dashboard

To add custom EDI fields in the Dashboard's EDI X12 Messages Search page, go to the instance where Adeptia is running and in the following subfolder add an EDI Message specific XML.

C:\Program Files\AdeptiaSuite\AdeptiaSuite-6.5\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\Solutions\EDI\EdiTransactionXMLs

XML should have following syntax. For example, Invoice Number in EDI 810 is in BIG/BIG02 field and we need to write this field's xpath in the CDATA construct as shown below. This would allow users to search for an X12 810 Invoice transaction using an Invoice Number. Refer to the attached sample file.

File naming convention should be EDI_TS_<message type>.xml

 <fieldinfo columnname="field1" order="12">

 <name>

 <![CDATA[Invoice Number]]>

 </name>

 <xpath>

 <![CDATA[BIG/BIG02]]>

 </xpath>

 </fieldinfo> 

 <fieldinfo columnname="field4" order="13">

 <name>

 <![CDATA[Invoice Date]]>

 </name>

 <xpath>

 <![CDATA[BIG/BIG01]]>

 </xpath>

 </fieldinfo>

The custom fields are shown in the Dashboard > EDI X12 Messages > Advanced Search panel under Search By Field dropdown. Refer to the snapshot below.
