Display Options for Multi-Group Fields

Multi-Group fields allow users to choose one or more groups.

Multi-Group fields are defined in SBM Composer, but you can perform the following configuration tasks in the SBM System Administrator:

Add selections for fields in auxiliary tables. For details, refer to Adding Selections for User-type Fields for Auxiliary Tables.
Delete field selections in auxiliary tables.
Set default values for these fields in auxiliary tables.

The following options are defined in SBM Composer, except for default and selection values.

Default Values — Indicates the pre-selected values for this field, if applicable. You can change these values as needed.
Allow Searching — Enables the Value Find feature for the field on submit, transition, and update forms. Users can enter search criteria (an entire word, a few letters, or an asterisk) and then click search icon or press Enter to perform the search. Results appear in a drop-down list, from which users select a value for the field. This option also enables users to search for values in the Rich Editable Grid.
Tip: If the field will contain 200 or more selections, this option is recommended for best performance. If you do not allow searching, fields that contain over 250 selection values are automatically set as searchable in the Editable Grid.
List Box — Enables users to select one or more values from a drop-down list.
Check Boxes — Enables users to select one or more values from check boxes populated with selections listed in the Selections area.
Height of List Box — Indicates the number of rows that display values for the field on forms. You can set the number of rows to display as appropriate for the number of expected values for the field. This option is available for the List Box and Allow Searching options.
Note: If the number of selections exceeds this value, selections are displayed in a dual list box instead of a single list box. However, this option is not used in SBM Work Center. All list boxes are displayed side-by-side in submit, transition, and update forms in Work Center.
Selections — Lists the selections for the field.
Status — Indicates the selection's status.
Show Selections Referencing Deleted Users or Groups — Includes in the list users or groups that were previously specified as selections and later deleted. You can then delete the selection referencing the deleted user or group.
