Configuring Search behavior
The Search while typing function enables ShareScan OP 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.
For example, assume that 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 next address entry that begins with “ch”. As the user enters “r”, the client
displays the next address entry that begins with “chr”. If there are multiple users with the name
“Chris”, the user can then press the down arrow and select the desired “Chris”.
It is recommended that you select this option only when the address list server responds fast
enough to allow rapid auto-completion.
By default, this function 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, a user can manually activate the option. If the
client is configured to use the hard keyboard, the user enters one or more characters and then
presses the Search icon. If the client is configured to use the on-screen (soft) keyboard, the user
enters one or more characters and then presses the Search button. For example, the 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’.
