The SAP system recognizes three presentation forms for the input help:

List box

Control (modeless)

SAP Dialog (modal)

Use database view as selection method if the data about the possible values that is relevant for the input help is distributed on several tables.

Do note that database views are always created with an inner join. As a result, only those values having an entry in each of the tables involved are offered in the input help.
Sometimes the values should be determined with an outer join. In this case help view is used as the selection method.
