Within a step, you may want your users to select one or more object. You can display this information in a variety of ways:

Note

: If you are just displaying one object, you can display the object's fields as a one-row, multi-column table.

By default, Guide Designer displays a search dialog box when users are searching for information for fields that can be updateable. You can override the default and tell Guide Designer to display object information using either a picklist or table. Picklists and tables are populated using a query that filters the possible objects down to just those that should be presented. For example, Guide Designer could show only the contacts that are associated with an account.

You can customize the fields being shown for each object. If only one field from these objects is displayed, Guide Designer shows this information as a list. However, if you are displaying more than one (for example, a lead's first and last name), Guide Designer shows each within its own column in a table.

Note

: Object queries are not available when the field you are updating can reference more than one type of object (that is, the

Reference To

control within the

Field Properties

dialog includes multiple object types). If this is your situation (that is, you cannot use a regular query), you must select and use an advanced query.
