Tab reference
It is possible to define a filter in the tab Reference for restriction of displayed records. When using the filter we recommend to check also property Selection in the Search form.
At the same time you can select columns that will be displayed in the Search form. If you do not select anything, only short description will be displayed.
Name of the variable for ID in url
If you set column Redirect to page, you have to also fill in Name of the variable for ID in url. This is used for creation of an address, to which the user will be redirected when clicking on the reference in the list of records or in the record detail form.
Example:
Redirect to page = page with ID 10
Name of the variable for ID in url = xyz
Id of the record in the class, in which the link is displayed = 30
The result url will be:
WebContentPage.aspx?Id=10&xyz=30
