Configuring the Search while typing option
The Search while typing option enables ShareScan to automatically search for matching address
list entries after each character the user enters. This is a useful feature when the user is searching a
long list for an entry. The user does not have to type the entire name in the field.
eCopy recommends that you select this option only when the address list server responds fast
enough to allow rapid auto-completion.
By default, this option is enabled. If you do not want to use it, you must clear the Search while
typing check box.
If the Search while typing option is not enabled in the Administration console, users at the
scanning device will still be able to type in one or more characters and then activate the Search
while typing option using one of the following methods:
■
If the hard keyboard is selected, the user can press the built-in keyboard button located at
the end of the text control.
■
If the hard keyboard was not selected, or is not available, the user presses the Search button
on the soft keyboard screen.
Example:
A user wants to enter “Chris Levesque” in a user name field. As the user enters “c”, the Client displays the first
address entry that begins with “c”. As the user enters “h”, the Client displays the first address entry that begins
with “ch”. As the user enters “r”, the Client displays the first address entry that begins with “chr”. If there are
multiple users with the name “Chris”, the user can press the down arrow and select “Chris Levesque”.
Example:
A user enters “c”’ and nothing happens. The user then presses the Search icon or button. The Client then fills in
the field with the first address list entry beginning with “c”.
