Processing on Autocomplete Fields

With fields configured for autocomplete (also referred to as type ahead), the system behaves as follows with respect to deferred processing:

  • The system executes all pending PeopleCode events prior to displaying the autocomplete list.

  • The system does not trigger a server trip after the user makes the selection from the autocomplete list.

  • If there is a FieldChange event, the system will trigger a server trip, but only after the user tabs out of the field.
