Does Aware allow multi selections from DropDown?

BenHayat

Kendo UI has multi selection for the drop down, where user can select several items as following, similar to picking multiple recipients in email program.

Is this supported in Aware?

If not is there any way that I can get multiple selections? If yes, then how do I use them in my FIND statement to find Customers with Category of "ABC" or "CBS" or "NBC" (These were the selections).

Thank you in advance.

That control is already there Ben...

In the filter I think you could do something like....

FIND Customer WHERE Customer.Category IN 'ABC,CBS,NBC'

I see it in the manual too, but how do I get to it in Aware's form?

I even tried the "CheckBox List" but won't allow me to select multiple objects. And there is no choices in the IDE to turn it on/off.

Is your Attribute Peer with Multiples Allowed?

Excellent. Now I get multiple selection with CheckBox List.

Now I need to figure out, how my next FIND will use these multiple choices.

It looks like Aware by default finds all the Customers with Category that must match ALL the selections and not just ONE. So it's like an "AND" and not "OR"

Should be if any occur in the list Ben.

It's not "ANY", it's "ALL". Another words, the more a user selects, the narrower the result, meaning it's doing "AND" and not "OR". I tested it many times.

I'm confused.

The Filter is to limit the options to chose from for the Multi Select.

How can the Select From list narrow as the user selects more for the list?

😃 I don't blame you... but this will clear it.

Each customer has another object that allows the customer to have multiple categories.

Customer A: may have Accounting, Tax Prep, Book Keeping
Customer B: may have Accounting, Tax Prep
Customer C: may have Accounting, Book Keeping

Now,
a) if I do ONE selection, i.e. Accounting, I get Customers A,B,C as result.
b) If I do THREE selection, i.e. Accounting, Tax Prep, Book Keeping I get customer A as result
c) If I do TWO selections, i.e. Accounting, Tax Prep I only get Customer B

So the more selections I have like in case (b), the less result I get, because Aware is doing "AND".

Hope this clarifies it.
