Example: Configuring autofill for the Affected Person field in service requests

If you frequently open service requests for the same users, you can configure autofill on the Affected Person field. The next time you open a service request, as you type in the Affected Person field a list of one or more possible matches for the data is listed.

Procedure

  1. In the System Properties application, set the value of the mxe.webclient.ClientDataValidation property to 1.
  2. In the Application Designer application, select the Create Service Request application, highlight the Affected Person field and open the properties sheet.
  3. Click the Advanced tab. In the Autofill Properties section, click Configure Type-Ahead.
  4. If a domain is not specified, go to the Database Configuration application to define a domain and complete the Domain field.
  5. Add the domain attribute.
    To specify a domain attribute, you choose the primary key of that object as an attribute in the Attribute table that the domain is pointing to, and set the key Boolean value to true.
  6. Optional: To provide more information about the key attribute and to distinguish it from other type-ahead choices, add another attribute.
  7. Click OK and then save the application definition.
