WBI will only automatically fill combo box lists if they are for items that are known to be a small quantity. For any item that could contain an unlimited number of items the list is only fetched on your command in order to ensure that pages will load quickly and respond to your commands efficiently. In fact AyaNova does this as well, but it's more transparent to the user. A web browser is not connected to the AyaNova database at all times so data has to be fetched on command. We've made this as seamless as possible given current technology.
If nothing is selected yet, select the arrow image to the right or click in the drop down box itself
Now select on the "get more" image at the bottom of the drop down. This will send a request to WBI that you want the list filled.
A list of possible selections will now display
Click on the selection you wish.
For efficiency, data is only retrieved for the combo box you wish to select from. It would cause the workorder to take a lot longer to obtain data on every single possible combo box, therefore a lot longer before you could view it and/or edit it. This would not be efficient, especially if all you want to do is just view existing data while out on a service call, or edit one combo box.
Auto-complete feature is not a feature of combo boxes accessed via WBI. Please refer to Features in AyaNova Not Available via WBI
