Using a database as the source of index values
You can create an index field that uses a database as the source of index values. This allows users at
the device to select from a list of available values on the Index screen.
If the database administrator modifies index values in a database that are associated with a Quick
Connect index field, users will have access to the changed index values. You do not need to make
any changes to the index field in the Administration console.
