Type Ahead Block (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, display a list of results when a user begins typing in an input field by using the Type Ahead Block. When a user selects a record, the Type Ahead Block can retrieve additional information related to the record. For example, a Type Ahead Block can be used with an Omnistudio Data Mapper to list Accounts in the results.

This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see Omnistudio Help.

In the Omniscript Designer, the Type Ahead Block is located under the Groups section of Available Components.

• Use Type Ahead Block With Data JSON (Managed Package)
  For the managed package runtime, a Type Ahead Block can use a JSON node as its source instead of an Omnistudio Data Mapper, API, HTTP, or Remote action.
