Using the Smart Input Help
If you double-click fields with an input help, or use the backspace key in an empty field with input help, you can see your last five entries in this field. Your most recent entry appears at the top of the list that is displayed below the input field.
When you make a new entry in this field, and when you then take further action, such as navigating to another page, the new entry becomes the topmost entry in the dropdown list for this input field.
Features
In addition to the five entries in fields with a simple input help, a background search is performed; it is a simple input help, where the available entries are immediately displayed if the input help was clicked by the user. The background search is started as soon as you enter the first character
in the field. The data records found are displayed in alphabetical order below the five entries, from which they are separated by a dashed line. If more than 50 records are found in the background search, (Too Many Records ...)
appears at the end of the list with the data
records found.
You can use report SVH_DELETE_LAST_ENTRIES to delete the entries of any user in the smart input help.

Users can disable the smart input help for performance reasons, for example, or they can delete all entries that have been saved for the user. They can do so on the central personalization page under the layout settings. In this case, the smart input help needs to be enabled in Customizing, otherwise the indicator is not available in the layout settings.
