#3 Search not applicable to Advanced Filter

The search capability mentioned in #3 is not applicable to the Advanced Filter option for Combo Box and Link widgets.

The ability to do case-insensitive filtering on these widgets is a feature that we are considering for future inclusion to the product.

Thanks for posting this question, Lblaivas.

Case-insensitive search does

Case-insensitive search does not seem to be working.
Go to Advanced Search and try to search case-insensitive. It does not find records.

Also, What is a field with "Go" button next to "Advanced Search" link? what does it do?

Case-insensitve search in Text Search

Leonid --

Please use Text Search. In Text Search, you can also search for a particular field by using the "Data Field:value" syntax, where the Data Field is NOT the full xpath but the leaf Data Field name. For example, "Name:smith". This will find all instances of Smith, smith, sMith, SMith, etc., in the Name field.

Click on the GO button to launch the Text Search (hitting the Enter key in your keyboard will do the same).

Hope this helps.

Formatting Linked Records in a Grid

Hi,
I do not see the option to format the values in a LINKED grid.
Is this possible?
It would be nice to have dollars and percents appear formatted with symbols.
Any workarounds that you know of?
Brad

Formatting a link widget...

Hi bradaland,

Formatting of data us currently not supported for link widgets. It would make sense though that a link widget would carry over the format from the display value, I will file that as a feature request for you.
