When a user works with filters in the Find dialog and Viewsviews, Aptify can automatically populate the filter's Value field with a suggested value list of the first 100 possible values that exist in the database. However, in some situations, this feature may cause confusion not be valueable or decrease the performance of the system. Therefore, Aptify allows an administrator to configure this behavior on a global or per-entity basis.
By default, the Suggested Value list functionality is enabled for all View Filters but disabled for all Find Filters. This This behavior is controlled by two entity attributes for the Entities entity (found on the Configuration > Attributes tab):

- GlobalViewFiltersSuggestedValueLists: This attribute is set to On by default. It is a system-wide setting to control whether or not the Filter Control Value Drop Down Lists will be filled with up to 100 values pulled from the database. The possible values for this attribute are Off (do not retrieve suggested values), Per Entity (only retrieve suggested values when a particular Entity has the ViewFiltersSuggestedValueLists attribute defined with a value of On.), and On (always attempt to retrieve suggested values).
- GlobalFindSuggestedValuesLists: This attribute is a system-wide setting to control whether or not the Find Filters Drop Down Lists will be filled with up to 100 values pulled from the database. The possible values for this attribute are Off (do not retrieve suggested values), Per Entity (only retrieve suggested values when a particular Entity has the FindSuggestedValueLists attribute defined with a value of On.), and On (always attempt to retrieve suggested values). This attribute is set to Per Entity by default but no entities have a corresponding FindSuggestedValueLists attribute by default so it is effectively disabled.
