    Input
    Click the look-up button.
    On the data grid, you can perform these tasks:
    • Select Input to identify the input fields to be submitted to the API transaction.
    • Select Use input to enable a user to override the input value from the widget actions on the widget menu.
    • Optionally, specify an entity type if you require the widget to retrieve business context messages. For example, specify InforCustomerPartyMaster as the entity type. Then, specify an input in the Value field using the format {InforCustomerPartyMaster}. This input is also reflected in the Id1 context message, which you can use as an input field to run the MI request.
    Note: Other supported macros are used in the Value field.
