XQuery

XQuery code is used to facilitate customized search queries, subscription management logic, and system tasks. These XQuery capabilities can be modified through your skin.

The XQuery files stored in the base skin are designed for extension. A skin can include a set of files to handle the following tasks:

  • Handling custom queries for search and allowing for specialized sort routines for search results.
  • Determine if a user has subscription access to a resource (like a topic or an image)
  • Controlling the behavior of the aggregation tasks for forms.

You can add new or modify XQuery resources in a skin like any other resource. See Adding a Skin and Resources.
