Custom Column Limitations

For search mapping SharePoint has a character limit of 64 characters and since RecordPoint leverages the SharePoint search we have this constraint. Due to this SharePoint limitation, the final length of the custom column after RecordPoint translates it needs to be within 64 characters (the actual display name would be much shorter).

Two main considerations when naming the custom columns:

1. Please restrict from using any special characters (underscore is an exception)
2. The final length of the column name must be <=64 characters. A column name will be translated by RecordPoint as a Search Managed Property in the following manner:

• • The spaces will be substituted with "XIXx0020XIX" (11 characters).
  • The above string will be again prefixed with "RecordPointXIX" (14 characters).
  • For eg, Original Column name -> Barcode Value. The final converted string is "RecordPointXIXBarcodeXIXx0020XIXValue" (total of 37 characters).
