Definition

Activates the value help of a form field and specifies the way in which the value help is structured.

Use

The following value help types are available:

  • No Value Help
  • Manual Value Help
  • Value Help for All Linked Backend Services
  • Value Help for Specified Backend Service

By default, no value help is provided for a form field.

If the switch is set to Manual Value Help, you must specify the values (and the associated texts) manually.

If you set the switch to Value Help for All Linked Backend Services, the values are determined using the backend services that are linked with the form field. This is usually a single backend service; however, it is also possible to link a field with several backend services. In this case, if several backend services deliver value helps, then the intersection of the values is determined that exists in all value helps. Only these values (that are supported by all backend services) are then available in the value help.

If you set the switch to Value Help for Specified Backend Service, the value help is determined using the backend service whose sequence number is specified.

Dependencies

On the user interface, the form is defined by the use and positioning of UI controls. The appropriate UI controls must be used for fields with value helps. At the moment, only dropdown boxes are available.

The specified types of value help are mutually exclusive. For example, if you selected Manual Value Help, the values must be specified manually and a backend service cannot be specified for the determination of the value help.
