Drop-down List
Description
A drop-down list has an arrow at the right of the box, and when clicked, displays a list of options. The
contents of a list consist of items you added using other forms.
Example: If you have not defined any micros in the system (using the Micros form), the Micros dropdown
list is empty.
Selecting an item from a drop-down list limits the search to records with matching selections. Dropdown
lists auto-complete, allowing you to type in leading characters of a desired item to jump to that
point. A blank or an empty drop-down list does not limit the search.
Notes: You must have, at minimum, View permission to the form to which the drop-down list
corresponds, to view that drop-down list.
Only drop-down items that are part of the active facility set are available.
External changes to data updates for the drop-down control can take up to 90 seconds for
cache refresh to occur on a client workstation.
