Define List Display Options (Text Prompts Only)
For text Prompts in which
List Values from a Table and Field is selected in
the
Value List drop-down, define how to display the
list of values.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Auto | Select this option in the drop-down to have
the system choose the best option for displaying the list of values (with a
drop-down button and/or Ellipses button).
Note: In most cases, the Ellipses button is displayed in the
Prompt window, which means that the system has found the Business Object
(selected from the
Table drop-down). The Ellipses button opens a separate
window that displays a list of values in a grid grouped by the Business Object
Field (selected from the
Field
drop-down), and then by the Fields in the Business Object's
default Grid. The
drop-down arrow is displayed only if the Business Object definition is
cacheable, or if the Business Object field (selected from the
Field
drop-down) has the
TreatAsCacheableForPrompt general attribute (defined on
the
Advanced
Properties page of the Field Properties window). Clicking the drop-down
arrow displays the list of cached values for the Business Object Field.

Display List of Values in a Grid | Select this option to have the list of values
displayed in a grid grouped by the selected Business Object field (from the
Field drop-down), and then by the fields in the Business Object's default Grid.
If you select this option, the Prompt bypasses the Prompt window and
immediately navigates the User to the grid, where they can select a value from
the list.
Note: The default Grid for a Business Object is configured using
the
Grid Editor in
CSM Administrator. The ability to configure the Grid depends on the Grid's grouping
properties.
