Dynamics Portals – Hide Search Control and clear cache

March 21, 2018 Leave a comment

Other day, we got a requirement to hide the ‘Search’ control from our Custom portal.

Search-1

Its very easy to achieve by changing a configuration.

Steps to hide Search control:

  • Go to Portals ->Site Settings ->Search/Enabled record
  • By default the ‘Value’ will be ‘true’, to hide the ‘Search’ change to ‘false’

Search-5

  • Save
  • Refresh the browser and you should not see the ‘Search’ control

Search-2

What if you are still seeing the ‘Search’ control:

Sometimes for some reason (Mostly due to caching), you wont see the change immediately.

In this case you can either reset portal/clear the server side cache by following steps below.

Reset the Portal:

  • If the change is not taken place for all users you might want to reset the portal.
  • Resetting the portal is not feasible option especially when your portal is being tested, as the end users will experience a snag for sometime.
  • But if the Portal is in Development phase and you can reset from your ‘D365 Admin Center’
    • Go to ‘Admin Center’ -> Applications
    • Select your Portal application and click ‘Manage’

Search-4

  • Select ‘Portal Actions’ -> Reset

Search-3

Clear Server Side Cache:

  • You can force the portal to refresh its cache immediately.
  • To clear the server-side cache, sign in to the portal with Administrator web role
  • Navigate to the URL as follows : <Your_portal_URL>/_services/about
    • (i.e., You need to append /_services/about end of your portal URL)
  • Select Clear Cache.
