DataLink Field
Datalink works much like DataSnap, connecting your form to datasets or processes. The key difference is that with Datalink, any changes made in the dataset or process will be reflected in the form when it loads, whereas DataSnap maintains a copy of the linked fields. Datalink provides a direct connection, ensuring that modifications in the dataset or process directly impact your form. It stores only the ID and Text, while DataSnap stores all the Linked Fields. Here, Text is the display of the Datalink.
Search List
The Search Field feature allows you to search for data while working in the form.
