To create an efficient Search form, you can enable the multi-select option for listbox fields in your search forms.
Note: Submission Forms and Update Forms do not have the multi-select option as a standard feature.
- To add the multi-select feature, edit the Report DataPage and go to the Configure Search Fields screen.
- Select the field for which you want to enable the multi-select feature.
- For the Text (255) field, on the Standard tab select Listbox from the Form Element drop-down list.
- Go to the Advanced tab and enable Allow multiselection. Match any (OR) returns all records containing any of the selected values.
- For the List-String field, on the Standard tab select Multiselect Listbox or Multiselect Dropdown.
