Definition

The dialog type defines the dialog steps executed for an input help.

There are the following dialog types:

  • Immediate value display: The hit list is displayed immediately after the input help has been called. This option is advisable if the hit list usually contains only a few entries.
  • Dialog with value restriction: The dialog box for restricting values is displayed immediately. Select this option if the list of possible entries is normally very large. Restricting the set of data to be processed increases the clarity of the hit list and reduces the system load during value selection.
  • Dialog depends on value set: If the hit list contains less than 100 entries, it is displayed immediately. If the hit list contains more than 100 entries, the dialog box for restricting values is displayed.
