 text filter
Question

Hi everyone


How can I make a filter so that when typing letters in a field, the system filters and displays just the names of registered users that contains part of the text typed in the user name, and be able to select it.


Thank you.

Hello Barbara,

If you want to do this for input field like textbox or dropdown list:

- If you are using traditional web you can use Input Autocomplete of RichWidgets module 

https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/How-to_Guides/Front-End/How_to_create_a_search_field_with_autocomplete_in_a_Traditional_Web_App

- If you are using reactive you can use Dropdown Search

- You can also find some Forge components which doing that for example this component

But if you want to start typing into input field like textbox and start filtering result into table records you will need to add action to event onChange of this input field to fetch data from database using filter of name like "%InputValue%" where InputValue is characters you typed into input field
