Back Forward SmartPrompt

A SmartPrompt text box, used on many rule and data forms, makes a dynamic selection list available for fast user entry. Optionally, SmartPrompt processing can be added to fields on work object forms.

Completing SmartPrompt fields

A triangle on the lower right corner (SmartPrompt) identifies text boxes with this capability. To complete a SmartPrompt box, place the insertion point inside the box and press the Down Arrow key. Double-click to select one choice from the list.

If the SmartPrompt list displays rule keys, those in the current class context appear first, followed by those in the immediate parent of the current class context, and so on up the class hierarchy. Rules in the @baseclass class appear last.

To select a property name (in the class determined by your current context, or an ancestor class of that class), type a period before pressing the Down Arrow key.

In this help system, a SmartPrompt symbol marks the form fields where SmartPrompt is available.

On rule forms, the SmartPrompt triangle is green. On Visio dialog boxes, the SmartPrompt triangle is blue.

TipSmartPrompt is designed for rule forms, forms created for developers using the Form Builder. As a best practice, use the Dynamic Select control rather than SmartPrompt controls in harness, section, and flow action rules that support work object forms. This approach offers better performance.
