Configuring filter/select in the index list

  2. Click the Filter/Select tab, then click the + Add. Select the fields where the user can do filtering and selection.
  3. Click Save.

    Select the index list
    Event

    Operation
    Select Read
  5. Click Save.

    Value
    You can specify a hard-coded value such as a number or a letter. You can also customize the input value based on which record is selected by specifying the Source and the Source field in the {componentID.SourceField} format in the Value column.
    For example, you have an index list that displays items, and you need to filter to find the records you are looking for in the list. The data service connected to the index list uses MMS200MI/LstItemByItm as API transaction. You open the configuration of the index list and click on the Filter/Select tab. Then, click + Add and select item number as a filter field.
    Next, you click on the Interactions tab and add an interaction that uses the index list as the source component, the event Search/Filter, and the operation Read. Finally, you open the configuration of the connected data service. On the Input tab on the transaction, you select the index list as the source and the ITNO listed under Input Fields as the source field.
