An enhancement that was introduced with version 5.0 of OrderLogix are
drop down lists that efficiently load a large amount of data. In
prior versions of OrderLogix, drop down lists would include every
eligible item. For instances with many items, this would create a
large load on the application in effort to populate the list with all
of this data. Now, in versions 5.0 and newer, you will see filtered
results in the drop-down lists available in many parts of the
application.
These drop-down lists are limited to load only 100 results at one time
to decrease the strain placed on the application in order to populate
the list. If you have more than 100 items available, you will only see
the first 100 display. Don’t be alarmed if the item you are looking
for is not included in this list. The unseen items are still available
for you to select, it just requires you to take one extra step, which
is the use the search bar filter.
The drop-down lists have a built in search bar style filter at the
top of the list. This makes it quicker for you to locate the item you
are wishing to select instead of scrolling through the list searching
for it as was required previously. Type four or more characters that
match the item(s) you are looking for and the results will filter and
display only results that match the characters you have entered, up to
100 items.
In the example below, we are using the new drop-down list to add
Product Offers to a script. This instance has 35 offers, so all of the
offers in the instance do initially display in the list. Locating the
offer we are wishing to add to the script is easier when we use the
filter bar to narrow the results only to Offers with “glov” in the
name.
