Default Value: True
Element: CaseInsensitive
Description: Specifies whether the auto-complete functionality is case-insensitive. If set to True, case is not considered when a user enters a prompt value such as “Oracle” or “oracle.” If set to False, case is considered when a user enters a prompt value, so the user must enter “Oracle” and not “oracle” to find the Oracle record. The system recommends the value with the proper case.
Default Value: True
Element: Matching Level
Description: Specifies whether the auto-complete functionality uses matching to find the prompt value that the user enters into the prompt field. These settings do not apply when the user accesses the Search dialog to locate and specify a prompt value.
Use the following settings:
- StartsWith — Searches for a match that begins with the text that the user types. For example, the user types “M” and the following stored values are displayed: “MicroPod” and “MP3 Speakers System”.
- WordStartsWith — Searches for a match at the beginning of a word or group of words. For example, the user types “C” and the following values are displayed: “ComCell”, “MPEG Camcorder”, and “7 Megapixel Digital Camera”.
- MatchAll — Searches for any match within the word or words.
Default Value: MatchAll
Element: MaxDropDownValues
Description: Specifies the maximum number of choices to display in the following locations:
- In choice lists in dashboard prompts.
