Record Selection Dialog

The window for selecting records is used for processing relational fields, for selecting records, for example, for selecting authors of books. It usually looks as follows:

To set up the view and the functionality of the window, select the relation element in Form Editor and go to the Individual Properties tab. Click the Additional... button on this tab. This will open the window for setting up the record selection properties:

Don't allow user to modify source folder - when this check box is selected, the tree of folders on the left will not be displayed. The record can be selected only from the folder that was indicated in the relational element properties as the Source Folder.
Don't allow user to create new records - when this check box is selected, the button of quick record creation directly from the record selection window will be hidden. If the user clicks this button for creating a record, the user will be prompted to enter its heading only.
Show text box for quick search and select - when this check box is selected, a text window will open above the record selection window. The selected query will be executed when the text is entered into the field:

This text field acts in the same way as the Text Button on the form. You enter the text, press Enter, and the entered text will be sent to the query as the first User Input value.
