Data pickers help prevent users from inadvertently choosing the wrong record from a picker list by filtering the content of the picker list. You can use them to filter large amounts of records into more manageable lists for users to choose from.
Data pickers work with master business process logs, shells, space types (in the Space Manager), and configurable managers that function across a shell hierarchy.
In operation, a data picker navigates to a specific business process, shell, space type, or configurable manager and extracts records to display on the picker list by using a query the Unifier Administrator sets up.
A data picker can be designed to display a navigation structure to guide Unifier users to the correct location where a record resides.
You can auto-populate and reverse auto-populate data pickers.
You can also create a hyperlink for a data picker. The hyperlink will be read-only, and will appear as a blank field if the picker has no values.
Note: The data displayed on data pickers is not restricted by permissions. Users will see all business processes, manager classes, or shells, regardless of their permissions.
