Type Ahead Properties

These properties configure type ahead.

If you want to change the default values, enter your changes in the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.

Property Name Property Description Valid Values
emxFramework.TypeAhead Enables (true) or disables (false) type-ahead for all webforms, tables, and users. True or False
emxFramework.TypeAhead.RunProgram.CharacterCount Defines how many characters must be typed prior to invoking the JPO:method, pre-defined choosers, or emxFullSearch.jsp to return a list of suggested values.

The property value can be overridden by the TypeAhead Character Count field setting. If data values for the field typically start with a prefix, this value can be set larger than the size of the prefix so that the JPO retrieves a smaller data set.

Recommendation: Do not set this value to 1. If you do, performance may be signifcantly affected. If the value is set to 1, using * in the search field does not find any results.
Positive integer
emxFramework.TypeAhead.SavedValuesLimit Defines how many values are saved per person, per form field. This value can be overridden by the TypeAhead Saved Values Limit field setting. Positive integer
