In future release custom columns functionality will become available in all item selectors including filtering and sorting.

Add SCHEMA to the Item selector in Experience Space

Hi, when adding a component to a page, for us most essential information is NAME and SCHEMA. We have been solving this 'problem' for decades by adding prefixes in the NAME of a component. But with the nice custom columns in Experience Space, that is no longer needed. If only you could add SCHEMA as a standard column in the Item Selector view. Hopefully my screenshot explains best:

Screenshot of Tridion Sites Ideas interface showing the 'Select an item' panel with a list of components. A user has highlighted the need for a 'SCHEMA' column next to 'NAME' in the Item Selector view.

Hi Danielle,

having the complete custom columns functionality would of course be great, but I can imagine it to be an XXL user story? We usually don't have that big amount of components in folders (mostly grouped in a folder per page or shared generic content-type), so searching/filtering -while inserting a component on a page or as a component link- is less relevant for us. Adding SCHEMA for now, sounds like a smaller effort which will solve the most obvious need?

Hi Vanessa,

As mentioned above custom columns functionality will become available in the item selectors. Would displaying the schema column in the page item selector as mentioned above for now solve your challenge?

Regards,

Danielle
