In IFS Cloud Web pages, Lists of Values (LOVs) are drop down menus which offer a list of options where you can select a value for the input field. This list can either be set in advance by the system administrator, generated from data in a database column, or you may even have the option to type in new values. |

There are two types of LOVs in IFS Cloud: Free Input LOV: Allows you to type any value to the field or select a value from the drop down menu. LOV: You can only select a value from the drop down menu. If you try to select a value that does not included in the provided list, you will get the following error message : |
Note: When you enter a value in a LOV field and tab to another section, the system will search for the exact value you typed. If an exact match is not found, the system will search for similar values and list them in the LOV drop-down. If no exact or similar values are found, the system will display an error message. |
The LOV incorporates essential features to expedite your search, ensuring a more efficient and faster retrieval of the results you seek. |
