This topic provides an overview of the minimum number of search characters.

If Is Mandatory is selected as Yes for any reduction field, Open Development Tool will ask for minimum search character length. By default, the value is 3.

If the field is mandatory and minimum search character length is given as n, then while searching, the user has to enter a minimum of n characters to search a particular value otherwise the system will show an error message.

Any value less than 3 will not be accepted. Open Development Tool will show an alert message in case of any rule violation. This feature is not available for Global LOVs.

Example: Customer LOV should allow searches based on is Mandatory and Minimum no of Character search character fields only and total wild card search should not be allowed.

The figure below illustrates Is Mandatory and Minimum number of Search Character fields in Open Development Tool.
