Understanding Auto Suggest (Developers, System Administrators)

Auto Suggest enables users to search for and filter text on fields where Auto Suggest is enabled.

When users type text in an Auto Suggest-enabled field, EnterpriseOne searches for one or more possible text matches and displays them in a grid beneath or beside the field. This immediate feedback enables users to stop typing an entire word or phrase, and instead, choose a record from the list that displays.

If Auto Suggest is enabled, users do not need to remember codes in order to search for, or enter, data in a field. Auto Suggest differs from Visual Assist in the following ways:

  • Auto Suggest can search for data in multiple tables and will return all records that match users' search criteria

  • Auto Suggest is faster, more efficient, and requires fewer mouse clicks.

  • Auto Suggest displays an arrow in all data items that are enabled for Auto Suggest.
