Populating controls on a query form

This topic describes the steps to follow when you create a form that includes a select list populated with relevant database choices.

  1. Use the Lookup Table builder to create a database query (or inspect an XML variable) that returns the items (label and value fields) you want included in the select control.

  2. Optional: Use the Additional Data Definition inputs to add to the query results any label/value pairs you want to include in the select list. Blank, for example.

  3. Use the object created by the Lookup Table builder as an input for a Select List builder or a Data Field Modifier builder. Each of these builders will use the label/value choices returned by the Lookup Table builder.
