show lookup with filter option by default at the top of the lookup grid to avoid Ctrl +G everytime.

Hi,

When user clicks on a field, it opens a lookup having 4 to 5 columns in grid and it has many records in it. user needs to press Ctrl + G for the filter rows to show up at the top of the grid. We want to avoid it in a way that whenever user opens a lookup, it opens with that filter option at the top always.

Is this possible in ax 2012?

    Hi VDY,

    If you want to have it enabled for all forms, a user can enable it himself.  

    File > Tools > Options > Interface options fast tab > Grid field group > Filter by grid on by default

    From the Users list page, an administrator can activate it for the users using the Options button.

    Hi Crispin John Augustine,

    In which method did you put the element.task(2855) code in the new custom lookup form?
