Sitecore Standard Template Fields - Part-2

Sitecore Standard Template: Help Section

The fields in the Help section of the standard template can provide context-sensitive assistance to users working with items in Sitecore. The fact that properties that expose the IDs of these fields appear in the Sitecore.TemplateFieldIDs class may indicate that Sitecore intends these fields to be relevant only to data templates (or at least, populated in data template definition items rather than standard values or individual items).

• __Help link (Sitecore.TemplateFieldIDs.HelpLink): I could not easily find any usage of this field. I can imagine using it to develop a system that provides links to further information for working with items, for example in the Quick Info section to generate a link to external documentation, or to make the short description a link to such documentation. In that case, I feel that the field should appear in the data template for data templates rather than the standard template.
• __Long description (Sitecore.TemplateFieldIDs.Description): Appears when a user hovers over an item in the content tree (what one might refer to as a tooltip…)
• __Short description (Sitecore.TemplateFieldIDs.ToolTip): Appears in the item title bar.

Sitecore Standard Template: Indexing Section

The Indexing section of the standard template contains the following fields:

• Boost (Sitecore.ContentSearch.Utilities.BoostingFieldId): Affects the relevance of item when it appears in search results.
• Boosting Rules (Sitecore.ContentSearch.Utilities.BoostingRulesFieldId): Sitecore invokes the rules selected in this field to adjust the relevance of the item when it appears in search results.
• Facets (Sitecore.Buckets.Utils.Constants.FacetsField): Item-specific search facets added to the global facets defined under the /Sitecore/system/Settings/Buckets/Facets item
