Search Context

When linking records, users can select whether they want to search for records in the whole database or within the current context. For fields with a Select-Function this search context is determined as follows:

  1. SearchContext as specified in the Select-Function, >>  Syntax
  2. SearchContext as specified in the Search control's control attributes, >> SearchContext.
  3. If no SearchContext definition is found
    • the source record is used
    • when linking records of the same info area, the search context is the source record's parent record (Example: linking a ticket to a ticket via the Predecessor field).

After deleting a link it is necessary to save the record to reset the search context.
