Auto-Suggest Lookups and Multivalued Lookups in Lists

Auto-suggest displays possible selection values to a user based on keyboard input. The following lookup changes occurred for this release:

• Auto-suggest is turned on for all lookups by default, but it can be turned off by opening the lookup and clicking the Auto-Suggest tab, then clearing the Auto Suggest Enabled check box.

  Auto-suggest for OBS lookups cannot be turned off.

• Dependent Lookups are not auto-suggest enabled.
• Multivalued lookups can be configured to work within lists and grids.

Lookups were configured as pull-down lookups in v12.1.1 because it provided easier and quicker access in assigning values. Consider configuring these lookups as browse lookups because auto-suggest makes the assignment of the lookup value easier. In addition to ease of use, browse lookups have a performance benefit because the values do not have to be retrieved up-front, which makes pages render faster.

Upgrade action: (Optional) Review pages that have query lookups to see if you want to display additional attribute information in the auto-suggest display to help the user.
