Locater search filtering for Global Collections is showing duplicates

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

When searching in the Explorer tab for all Global Collections, can see a number of them listed (for example 267).

But when searching in the Locater tab for all Global Collections, it shows a higher number (for example 362).
Some Global Collections appears in the list as duplicates and associated to different Landscapes.

 

Environment

Release : Any

Component : Spectrum OneClick

Cause

Global Collections are showing data regardless of what Landscapes they are on.

In the Explorer tab it will list the Global Collections regardless of which Landscape they exists on. They can exist on one Landscape or many.

While from the Locater search it will list one entry for each Global Collection that is on each Landscape. So they can appear duplicated.

Resolution

We recommend to do the filtering of Global Collections from the Explorer tab - this will show Global Collections once, regardless of which Landscape they exists on.
With no duplicates.

Locater search is based upon Model Handles, and since Global Collections can exist on multiple Landscapes, each Global Collection name will have multiple Locater results, one for each Landscape.
