Auto Suggest is a field that auto-fills the values based on the user input with the pre-configured values. This item is a combo box but without the drop-down icon for data selection.


  • Form Items >Data Selection>Auto Suggest.




Click the SETTINGS icon of the Auto Suggest item. In the pop-up text box, type the values in the following format:
1 (rawkey) : 1 (rawvalue) (for example, 1 : Yes)
You can specify multiple values by using comma to separate the values (for example, 1 : YES, 2 : NO, 3 : MAYBE).

  • Only raw values get displayed in the box. The raw keys do not get displayed.
  • To select a view, click View ID lookup and select the view type of your choice. 
  • In the Key Column field, enter the column ID from the selected view that stores the value selected in back-end.
  • In the Value Column field, enter the column ID from the selected view that displays the value in the Combo drop-down.
  • In the LOV Category field, specify the LOV (List of Values) Category. 
  • In the LOV Parent ID, specify the Parent ID of the selected LOV (List of Values) Category.

  • Adding values through data-support class of the form

Auto Suggest allows adding two types of values through data-support class of the Form:

1. Pre-Defined data values (See Adding Pre-Defined Data Values)

2. Dynamic data values (See Adding Dynamic Data Values)

There might be situation where only single value is populated in the drop-down, in which case it makes sense to have the single value selected automatically instead of prompting users to select it. To achieve this, refer Automatic selection of value when drop-down contains single value.

After creating the class, add the class path of the data support class in Form Designer > Form tab > Data Support Class.
