default value for field (computer lookup)

Question

Sign in to vote

I have a request offering, and the value of the prompt - enter (part of) computername (string value) is used by a Query result.

the annoying part is that it starts off empty, so the query returns everything. I did define that the request for the (part of) computername has a limitation - it should be between 1 and 15 characters, but even when empty, the query already executes.

what I really would like is that the query does not start until I enter a value, OR if that is not possible, provide a default value so that the query returns nothing initially and when they update the computername and click refresh.

does anyone have an idea how to get this more efficient ?

I guess you already read http://www.concurrency.com/infrastructure/service-manager-request-query-result-filtering/

You could add a prompt for ex. Domain and provide these as a list. Top pick could be " -- Select domain --" and then use this token in the Query Result criteria. There are no domains that equals " -- Select domain --" and your Query will initially return nothing.
