4. Register Contact Facet & Aggregator¶

You must change the configuration in Sitecore to use the new contact facet model and contact aggregator. This configuration will also ensure the new value on the contact facet is indexed properly.

Add the following file:

Path App_ConfigIncludeDynamicsCrm

File name xExamples.DynamicsCrm.config

Note

Config file are processed in alphabetical order. The file name starts with “x” in order to ensure it is processed after the file Sitecore.Analytics.DynamicsCrm.config.

Note

The configuration included in these instructions is for the Lucene search engine. If you are using Solr, Azure Search or a different search engine, you must change the node /configuration/sitecore/contentSearch/configuration.

Add the following configuration to the file. This will replace the default contact facet model with the new, extended model, and the default contact aggregator with the new, extended aggregator:
