The Element Search Field

Element Icon
in Sidebar

Form Field

Function

You can use a search field to search a list of possible values in the container. Search fields have an auto-complete function: Depending on the input, a suitable hit list is displayed.

Default

A newly generated search field does not contain any functionality. Search fields must be configured accordingly. This requires programming knowledge.

Example

The search term z has been entered in the search field Product. The drop down list displays all product names stored in the container in which this search term occurs:

Configuration Options


If the option Show Label Inline is used at the same time, the field label remains visible in the input field until the user has made an entry or a value different from the empty string has been read from the container.

Container Name for Possible Values

To use the search field, possible values are defined in the container using a Worker or a form function. In the field Container Name for Possible Values, you have to save the reference to the data object defined in the container.
