# Autocomplete lists
Autocomplete lists are used to select and / or search for a value on forms. For example a Part on a Workorder form.
Autocomplete lists are used to search for and select a business object on forms.
They can be [customized](adm-global-autocomplete-templates.md) for each object type to display (and search in) one or multiple fields from that object type.
For example a Part on a Workorder form.
By default the Name of an object (or equivalent) will _always_ be present in that object type's autocomplete list template in addition to any other fields selected for that object type's autocomplete list template.
Each business object type has it's own [Autocomplete template](adm-global-autocomplete-templates.md) which can be customized to select which fields from that type of business object display and are searched for when typing in the autocomplete control.
They are also used to open the record selected in them or a new record if no selection has been made.
By default the Name of an object (or equivalent primary identifier) will _always_ be present in that object type's autocomplete list template in addition to any other fields included by customization.
Autocomplete controls also have a button to open the selected item's record or create a new record if no selection has been made.
## Selecting
A maximum of 100 items are returned by the server for any autocomplete list and clicking on a autocomplete list will cause it to drop down and by default fetch the first 100 records found for that type of object in the AyaNova database. For objects that there are less than 100 of this is often all that is required to select the item you need. However for larger lists searching by entering a few characters that match the item desired will be necessary.

However for larger lists searching by entering a few characters that match the item desired will be necessary.
There are two ways to select an item that is displayed in the drop down list, you can click on the item desired or use the down arrow on a keyboard to move down to the item desired and press enter to select it.
