To keep coding (NoCode) to a minimum there are many built-in WebViewWidgets that can be used with Lianja.showDialogPanel(), Lianja.showDialog() or as the URL in a WebView section or in a custom WebView object created with createObject("webview").

The Query Picker is a powerful WebViewWidget that incorporates the functionality of Miller columns and a searchable data grid. It also has integrated support for drilling down through data using the Query Builder.

You will typically want to show the Query Picker associated with a specific field in a form or canvas section. You can use the "Dialog Button" to achieve that.

Clicking one of the "Search" icons in the column headers or the data grid header will show the Query Builder providing a powerfull means of drilling down through the data currently being queried.
