Creating a Dynamic Choice List Field in Application Composer

Steps:

1. Hello, my name is John, and today we are discussing extending  applications using Application Composer.

   Step 1

2. In this demo, I will show you how to create a dynamic choice list field for an object in Application Composer.

   Step 2

3. This is the fourth in a series of related demos that show how to create a custom object, add fields to it, and create the user interface.

   In this series, we create a  simple trouble ticket application that the sales organization can use to log customer issues.

   Step 3

4. Click the Fields link for the object where you want to add the field.

   Step 4

5. Now let's create the field.

   Click the Create a custom field button.

   Step 5

6. The field we are creating will be used to select the names of partners that are logging trouble tickets.

    

   We want the list of partners to come directly from the data in our application, so we create a dynamic choice list field.

    

    

   Click the Choice List (Dynamic) option.

   Step 6

7. Click the OK button.

   Step 7

8. In the Display Label field, we enter the field name users will see.

    

   Enter the desired information into the Display Label field. Enter

    a valid value
    e.g.
    "Company"
   .
   Step 8

9. We'll accept the default display width.

   Step 9

10. And we don't need to make entry required.

    Step 10

11. One more thing. We can leave the system field name blank. The application  will automatically copy over the display label.

    That's OK in this case because we know we don't have any other fields with this name.

    Step 11

12. Let's go to the next page.

    Click the Next button.

    Step 12

13. Now we'll specify the related object that will populate the list of partners.

     

    Click the Related Object list.

    Step 13

14. Click the Partner list item.

    Step 14

15. Now, let's select the partner attribute to display in the list. That's the partner name.

    Click the List Selection Display Value list.

    Step 15

16. Click the Partner Name list item.

    Step 16

17. If we wanted to, we could filter the list of partners.

    Click the Expand Data Filter button.

    Step 17

18. And we could display additional fields in the list of partner names.

    For example, we could add Partner Location to make it easier for users to select the right partner.

    Click the Expand Additional List Display Values button.

    Step 18

19. We could also add additional fields users could use to search for partners in the list.

     

    Click the Expand Additional List Search Fields button.

    Step 19

20. We don't need these options for our example, so let's submit and we are done.

     

    Click the Submit button.

    Step 20

21. The field we just created is listed in the Fields page.

    Step 21

22. In this demo you learned how to create a dynamic choice list field for an object in Application Composer.
