a!recordFilterChoices() Function

Function

a!recordFilterChoices( choiceLabels, choiceValues )

Creates choices of a user filter for an expression-backed record.

Parameters

Keyword	Type	Description
`choiceLabels`	List of Text String	The list of text to be displayed to the user as the filter choices.
`choiceValues`	List of Variant	The list of values associated with the available choices.

Usage considerations

To use this function in your record type, see User filters for record types that use a web service.

Since users can save default selections for user filters, try to use expressions that rarely change the choices available. If users save a choice that is not available the next time they load the record, their saved filter selections will be cleared and a warning message will display.

Example

=a!recordFilterChoices(
  choiceLabels: {"Active", "Inactive"},
  choiceValues: {1, 0}
)
