List Attributes
When creating valid field entries with SmartLists, the following are the List Attributes available on the SmartList Manager window:
Items in this window
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Display Description | Select this check box if you want to display the description beside the valid entry. This is extremely useful for fields where you are using codes instead of full names. |
| Auto Drop List | Select this check box if you want the system to automatically open the drop-down list box whenever the cursor is in the field. |
| Quick Lookup | Select this check box if you want to enable the Quick Lookup feature.
If you select both the Auto Drop List and Quick Lookup check boxes, the
application finds the first SmartList entry that matches the first character
that you type in the field (it is case-sensitive). As you continue to
type, the application continues to find the first SmartList entry that
matches the second and third characters, and so on. Finally, you must
select the highlighted value in the displayed drop-down list to enter
it into the field, unless you type the complete value into the field. Tip: If you select the Restrict Entry to List check box, the application will only allow you to enter values in the SmartList and will always match each character you type in the field with a matching value in the list (not case sensitive). It will not matter if you select the Quick Lookup check box. |
