projectdoc Toolbox

Support for users of projectdoc macros to select from a range of valid values.

The Autocomplete Feature has been introduced with version 4.0 of the projectdoc Toolbox. Users are supported by providing a range of valid values to select from. Autocomplete is supported by a number of macros for a number of their parameters.

The feature is currently experimental, but activated by default.

Autocomplete in the projectdoc Toolbox

Autocomplete is provided for a selection of macro on a selection of macro parameters.

Documents need to be in iteration Released, Production, or Deprecated to be selected. Records may be in any Iteration state. This selection can be configured via a space property.

Iteration Released, Production, or Deprecated

 

If a document is not in a ready-for-use state, which is Released, Production, or Deprecated, then the name of the document will not be rendered as a selection option.

Names Parameter

The following parameter put constraints on the search result:

  • Doctype - the value is required

  • Where - provide a where clause (similar to using the Where parameter of the Display Table Macro
