Requires Riva Insight 2021.2 or higher.
For Track in CRM, and Creates and Updates. |
| One or two Quick Find lists of relatable records from one or more modules, with the ability to search for what isn't found on the Quick Find lists. |
This is a configured drop-down list based on the data of only one module. |
| What it does |
Recent Quick Find: Displays a list of selectable items used recently. |
Displays in a drop-down
- all of the items of a CRM module
– or –
- a subset of the items of a CRM module
– or –
- the items that are based on a selection in another field. This works by using field rules.
Examples:
- List determined by a configured subset. The Picklist displays all the open opportunities that have an estimated close date within 6 months.
- List of items determined by a field rule. When the end user selects an account in a certain field, the Module Picklist (Simplified) displays all the open opportunities associated with the account.

Predefined Quick Find:

- Configurable for Track in CRM, and Creates and Updates,.
- Displays a customized list of selectable items.
Examples:
- Commonly used items.

Search capability. This is standard functionality. If an item is not found on a Quick Find list, the end user can use the full search capability to find it. The Module Picklist (Standard) then displays the search results for selection.
Example: Search for an opportunity by a portion of its name. |
By design, there is no search capability in the Module Picklist (Simplified), in order to restrict the selection to a specific set of records. |
| Notes |
- When a Predefined Quick Find item is used, it is moved to the Recent Quick Find list.
- If a recent item that was originally on the Predefined Quick Find list has not been used recently, it is moved back to the predefined list.
|
- The Module Picklist (Simplified) can be configured to support a single selection or multiple selections.

| Best for |
The Module Picklist (Standard) is best for longer lists of items. It is more efficient to search through a long list of items than it would be to display all of them in the Module Picklist (Simplified). |
The Module Picklist (Simplified) is best for shorter lists of items: modules that have little data or data that can be usefully filtered. |
