Lookup Button |
This property is only available for Relationship data type attributes configured to be dependent on another class, Date data type attributes, and attributes that use a data set. When this property is used for a Relationship attribute, it allows users to populate the field with a value from another class. When set to True, a lookup button is placed next to the field, allowing values to be pulled from a related object. When the first relationship attribute for a related class is inserted into a view, the Select a filter for <Attribute Name> dialog box is displayed. Select the filter for which you want to look up related objects. The filter selected will be used for all subsequent relationship attributes inserted into the view for the same related class. In order to use another relationship attribute field to look up objects using a different filter, the Lookup Button property must be set to True and you must define the filter that should be used in the Lookup Filter property. Click the ellipsis button for the Lookup Filter property to access the Select a filter for <Attribute Name> dialog box. CAUTION:
Formatted text data type attributes are not supported as lookup fields. Note:
Users that have rights to the view will have rights to the filter selected when used within the view's lookup field. If a field is set with the Lookup Button property set to True users can enter partial values, press F6 and have the corresponding value populate the field. If multiple values exist that match the characters entered in the field, a dialog box will display the matching values for selection. Note:
If you select a filter that has user entry constraints and the field assigned as a lookup field is an attribute assigned as one of the constraints, users will need to enter values and perform a search before they can select an object. Note:
There can only be one Lookup Button configured per attribute relationship on a view. |
|
Lookup Button (continued) |
When this property is set to True for a Date attribute, the Calendar button is displayed in the Client. When it is set to False, the button is removed from the view. Note:
Attributes that are trigger targets will be and will not have the lookup button available. When this property is set to True for an attribute that uses a data set, a drop-down list is available in the Client for value selection. When it is set to False, the drop-down list is not available in the Client. Note:
Objects that belong to classes that extend an extension class will have read-only relationship attributes with no look up button regardless of this option's setting. |
