Query Results

Chris_Bulak

I am attempting to create a query results view for and AD lookup with in a Advanced Request.  When completing the settings in the advanced request offerings page, the portal displays it is this way:
I would like to get it to have more of a drop down option like this:

What would be the best way to get my AD lookup to view in a drop down search option?

Hi Chris

I dont believe this is possible, query results will currently only show in a grid view like the above. What id suggest is limiting the results by using a previous response token on your query criteria. 

We do also have this as an open feature request if you want to give it an upvote.

I was thinking k-grid but this would be all grids (including workitem grids). If its just one RO you could copy the CSS selector for the grid on that page and set max-width: 200px;

Joe, so would there be a way to modify the results provided?  I would like to see only 5 named results so that the box is not so large on the page.  Would also like to know if the column width can be modified.  The white space on the page takes up so much space.

Its possible with some CSS, the only problem is it would apply to other grids as well which would not be ideal. Ill leave this question open though in case someone else in the community has any other ideas.

Joe, What CSS would need to be modified.  We are using the query results for only one form, so it would not cause an issue since it affects all results.
