Innovation and enhancements are taking place all the time at Alpha. Below you will find some recent enhancements that have been made in the last few days in response to user requests.
The Alpha Anywhere grid has always allowed 'range' searches. now the UX component makes it just as easy.
The List control has a built-in action in Action Javascript to filter the List. An Ajax callback to the server is made and the query that populates the List is executed with a filter that is computed based on values in the search control on the UX. Now, you can easily perform 'range' searches, as shown in this video.NOTE: Another way to perform a 'range' search is to use a single search control, turn on the 'Allow QBF' option and then enter the search value as a range using the .. (two dots) synax. For example, to search for quantity between 10 and 20, you would enter 10..20 in the search control.
