LCS - Form Component Input Types Part 1

Form components are the web application templates used within the development platform to build online forms. These online forms gather data from your users through input fields and a submit button. These input fields are called Form Component Inputs.

Overview

  • Input components are dragged from the left pane onto the web form in the canvas to add them to the web form. 

  • When adding an input component such as a text field to an existing form, you will select which property from your data model the input component is connected to. The selected input and property will determine the action input variable that can be mapped to the assigned rows within the action. 

  • This is Part 1 of the alphabetical list of input components. To see Part 2, go to LCS - Form Component Input Types Part 2

Autocomplete

The autocomplete input provides a dynamic display list of options based on the records in your data model that the autocomplete is connected to, or the values of a list property. When the user begins typing in this field, the autocomplete input fetches records to show matching values for the characters entered in the autocomplete. 

Limits 

  • The autocomplete shows the first 20 records matching the current user input in the list of options when based on a data model.
