Use this property to set up and configure the workplace Auto Complete field. This is an XML string that should contain a parent node called AutoCompleteProperties.
Example:
<AutoCompleteProperties>
<EnableMultiSelect>true</EnableMultiSelect>
</AutoCompleteProperties>
Indicates if the link saved for the selected value should include the source page of the list item being saved.
Default: True
A text value that controls the text that is displayed when multi-select is enabled and an action such as add or remove is being performed.
Default: Working….
An integer value that controls the number of characters that must be entered before a search will be initiated.
Default: 0
Controls the animation type that the Auto Complete drop-down will perform when an item has been selected.
Options: Linear, InQuad, OutQuad, InOutQuad, InCubic, OutCubic, InOutCubic, InQuart, OutQuart, InOutQuart, InQuint, OutQuint, InOutQuint, InSine, OutSine, InOutSine, InExpo, OutExpo, InOutExpo, InBack, OutBack, InOutBack, InBounce, OutBounce, InOutBounce, InElastic, OutElastic, InOutElastic
Default: Linear
An integer value that controls the duration in milliseconds that the collapse animation takes to perform.
Default: 300
An integer value that controls the delay time in milliseconds that the auto complete drop-down controls will take to close once an item is selected.

Use this property to specify the URL that will be opened so that users can create additional/new items without having to leave the current form. As with other CorasWorks URL properties, the site URL variables <%SiteURL%> and <%HostName%> can be used.
Controls the css class style that will be used to display the auto complete field.
Default:
The XML node location of the value that will be used by the Workplace Lookup to assign a unique identification key to each choice item. This property can be specified in one of two ways:
1) A simple xpath
query, represented by the following:
:xpath=(your xpath query here)
2) An XML string, which allows you to specify a more complex value consisting of multiple xpath queries and static text values. The XML string will contain a values root node with child value nodes representing your individual string pieces. The value nodes contain a single attribute type which tells the property whether it should treat the value as static text or an xpath query. The attribute values are type="text" or type="xpath".
Default: empty
Example:
:xpath=NewDataSet/Table1/Title
<values>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Title</value>
<value type="text"> -
</value>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Description</value>
</values>
TIP: If there is no single value that you can use to uniquely identify each choice, try using the second property to join two or more values to create one unique value.
The XML node location of the value that will link the choice back to its parent details. This link is utilized on the item display form from within SharePoint. This property is optional. It can be specified in one of two ways:
1) A simple xpath
query, represented by the following:
:xpath=(your xpath query here)
2) An XML string, which allows you to specify a more complex value consisting of multiple xpath queries and static text values. The XML string will contain a values root node with child value nodes representing your individual string pieces. The value nodes contain a single attribute type which tells the property whether it should treat the value as static text or an xpath query. The attribute values are type="text" or type="xpath".
Default: empty
Example:
:xpath=NewDataSet/Table1/Title
<values>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Title</value>
<value type="text"> -
</value>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Description</value>
</values>
The text value that controls the default value.
Default:
The XML node location of the display text to be presented by the lookup to users as the choices for selection. This property can be specified in one of two ways:
1) A simple xpath
query, represented by the following:
:xpath=(your xpath query here)
2) An XML string, which allows you to specify a more complex value consisting of multiple xpath queries and static text values. The XML string must contain a values root node with child value nodes representing your individual string pieces. The value nodes contain a single attribute type which tells the property whether it should treat the value as static text or an xpath query. The attribute values are type="text" or type="xpath".
Default: empty
Example:
:xpath=NewDataSet/Table1/Title
<values>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Title</value>
<value type="text"> -
</value>

An XML string property that allows a user to configure the lookup so that when a value is selected, additional fields in the list are updated with content configured from the data source.
The Additional Update Fields property accepts an XML string that should contain the following schema:
<UpdateFields>
<Field>
<Title
InternalName="true/false">FieldName</Title>
<FieldValue>
1):xpath=xpath
value
2)<values>
<value type="xpath/text">xpath value or
text</value>
</values>
</FIeldValue>
</Field>
</UpdateFields>
For each field to be updated, there should be a Field node that contains two child nodes: a Title node and FieldValue node. You can specify an internal field name by providing an InternalName attribute set to true in the Title Node. For the FieldValue node, you can provide a single xpath statement in the following format ": xpath=" with the right side of the equation being your query value.
In addition to the xpath query, users can specify a more complex value by utilizing the Values XML fragment as seen in the other properties. The XML should contain a parent node of values and child nodes of value. Each value node should have an attribute type set to either text or xpath. If text is specified, static text should be provided. Otherwise, if you have specified xpath, a valid xpath statement should be provided. The FieldValue node represents the data that will be stored to the field specified in the Title node.
Below is a sample of the property in use.
<UpdateFields>
<Field>
<Title
InternalName="false">Description</Title>
<FieldValue>
<values>
<value
type="xpath">CorasWorks/NewDataSet/Table1/Status</value>
<value type="text">
-</value>
<value
type="xpath">CorasWorks/NewDataSet/Table1/ListID</value>
</values>
</FieldValue>
</Field>
<Field>
<Title>test</Title>
<FieldValue>:xpath=CorasWorks/NewDataSet/Table1/Priority</FieldValue>
</Field>
</UpdateFields>
The URL of the data source referenced by the Workplace Lookup to populate its choices. This property also supports the use of the variables <%SiteURL%> and <%HostName%>. However, the special characters must be encoded as <%SiteURL%> OR <%HostName%>
Default: empty
Examples:
http://domain.com/LookupDataSources/Contacts
<%SiteURL%>
/LookupDataSources/Contacts
This is a required setting; if left blank, no data will be returned. It establishes a connection to the filtered data source connection.
Note: The Workplace Auto Complete will pass a query string parameter "filter=" with the value of the search filter on the right side of the equation. If using the External Data Provider, you will need to make sure you have provided this parameter as part of the values nodes.
This property can be entered in standard URL format (http://www.yoursite.com/tasks.aspx) or using shortcuts such as:
•<%SiteUrl%>
•<%HostName%>
Indicates whether the filter should search the beginning of the text only, rather than the entire text.
The XML node location of the value that will be stored in the SharePoint list when the item is selected and the list item is saved. This property is optional; if no value is provided, the lookup will utilize the value represented by the URL to XML . This property can be specified in one of two ways:
1) A simple xpath
query, represented by the following:
:xpath=(your xpath query here)
2) An XML string, which allows you to specify a more complex value consisting of multiple xpath queries and static text values. The XML string will contain a values root node with child value nodes representing your individual string pieces. The value nodes contain a single attribute type which tells the property whether it should treat the value as static text or an xpath query. The attribute values are type="text" or type="xpath".
Default: The value of the URL to XML property
Example:
:xpath=NewDataSet/Table1/Title
<values>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Title</value>
<value type="text"> -
</value>
<value
type="xpath">NewDataSet/Table1/Description</value>
</values>
An integer value that controls the width of the auto complete drop-down controls.
Default: 200
