User Field Options

User fields let users select one user or group from the field.

Style

• Allow searching

  Select this option to enable the value find feature for the field on submit, transition, and update forms. This enables users to search for values.

  Tip: If the field will contain 200 or more selections, this option is recommended to ensure best performance. If you do not allow searching, fields that contain over 250 selection values are automatically set as searchable in the Editable Grid.
• Single drop-down list

  Select this option to let users select a value from a populated drop-down list.

Associated Roles

Select the roles that determine which values users can select. You must assign at least one role to a User or Multi-User field before you can set a default value for the field in SBM Application Administrator. For User fields, users can select a single value. For Multi-User and Multi-Groups fields, multiple values can be selected.

Display

• Span entire row on forms

  Select this option to make this field the only field to appear on a single row.

Search & Query

• Appears in report field lists

  Select this option to include the field in lists on report forms. If you clear this option after the field is used in reports, the changed setting is ignored for those reports and the field is still shown until it is removed from the report definition.

• Appears on lookup form and relational field value lookup

  Select this option to add the field to the Auxiliary Data search form and Relational Field Value Lookup form.

  The field order for the Relational Field Value Lookup form for primary items is determined by the default field order of the table's first project in the project hierarchy. Projects are defined in Application Administrator.

• Appears on searches for this table
  Select this option to specify that the field will be available for selection on the Advanced Search page. This setting applies to primary and auxiliary tables. See Configuring Advanced Search for additional information.

  Note: When this option is selected on User and Single Selection fields, the fields appear as facets on the Work Center search results page for a single application. Single Relational, Multi-Relational, and Multi-Selection fields can be added as facets as well, but require additional configuration steps. See solution S142755 for details.
• On lookup or query-at-runtime forms
  • Allow searching

    This option enables the value find and relational field value lookup for the field. (See Allow Searching under Style above for a description of the value find feature.) The relational field value lookup feature provides an advanced searching mechanism that lets users find values for Single Relational and Multi-Relational fields. If this option is enabled, an additional search icon is available for the field.

  • Show full list

    This option lets users select a value from a drop-down list on the Relational Field Value Lookup form and Query-at-Runtime form for reports.
