Search Selections

Search Selections allow you to save and reuse frequently performed searches.

Hii Retail provides search APIs for different entities and purposes. In some scenarios, quickly loading the same search saves time for users or services.

Search Selections let you save all configured search parameters, so you can reload them later without reconfiguring the search each time.

A typical use case is a frontend application where users often repeat the same search.

Example: In a mobile POS app, User A may have a filter for Shoes (shoe department), while User B uses Mens and Outdoors (men's outdoor department).

Searches can be stored and shared with other users or services.

Shared Search Selections

A Search Selection can be shared with others. See API details.

This is useful when the same searches are needed across departments. Centrally defined searches can be shared with the organization or specific employees.

Set sharable on a PRIVATE Search Selection to allow sharing. Hii Retail does not control sharing mechanisms.

Use PUBLIC Search Selections to share with a broad audience.

INTERNAL Search Selections

Setting scope to INTERNAL allows automated search results, e.g., PLU Lists for self-checkout, scales, vending machines, etc.

A Search Selection for Items under Bread will yield different results per Business Unit, matching local assortment. The PLU List definition is "static" centrally, but content is dynamic per Business Unit.
