Lookup/Filter from large dataset in Taskspace XForm - options

aflowers001

Hi,

We are looking at using xForms in a Taskspace application however for a number of the forms there is a common requirements that we would need to look up data from a large external dataset and select one or more of the filtered items as being the data to be carried through.

Initially we have been using lists boxes (both drop down and standard) with sample data but we are aware that once we get to datasets with several thousand entries that will become unweildy.

So are there options within xForms within Taskspace for doing this?

The basic ideas would be a custom component of some sort that would have a single line text entry box, a go filter now button and a result table.

The user would enter filter criteria in the edit box, click the button and the potential matches would be available for selection.

(alternatively if we could click a button and have that call a popup that could do the filtering/selection and return informations that would work as well)

Is this at all possible with the Taskspace xForms implementation? and if so how?

Also is it possible with the 'other' xForms implementation that the Documentum XML team have?

cheers,
