Document portal

The Document Portal web part is a powerful way to surface related content to your users and provide additional capabilities such as filtering, search, favoriting and popular searches.

This web part is used to aggregate related content such as forms, policies, procedures in a single place for users.

The web part provides many additional features such as:

  • Ability to customize the filters that users see
  • Ability to customize the metadata that users see without the need for custom code
  • Ability to show pre-defined common searches
  • Ability for users to favorite items that are stored on a per user basis
  • Ability to see content in a list or grid format

Document Portal Technical Implementation

The Document Portal web part is implemented as a client side react component that runs within the context of the browser (this is the same approach as all Bonzai Intranet web parts). All queries are made with a client-side REST call to the search service to get items, paging as well as filter values.
