Combined input and selection fields
Some pages in Impact Ordering provide combined entry and selection fields for you to enter or select items of information that are stored in the system, such as users or companies.
You can enter the name of the item directly or display a selection list and select the name from the list. If more items are available than can be displayed in the selection list, you can search for and select the item from a list of all available items.
