Enabling AutoComplete for InputFields 

Use

The AutoComplete function allows the user to see proposals during input of data into an input field. The proposals result from the history of the data the user has inserted.

The user will get the same proposals for each InputField that is bound to a context attribute with the same Semantic ID. The Semantic ID is built up of a namespace and an ID The two parts are separated by a colon. Its optional to enter a namespace, but to clearly define a proposal list for an attribute you should do so.

Structure of a Semantic ID

ID part	allowed characters
Namespace	A to Z
	a to z
	digits from 0 to 9
	hyphen -
ID	A to Z
	a to z
	digits from 0 to 9
	hyphen -
	period .
