A bit lost as to how I can best achieve the desired results.
In a nutshell, I have a SQL database with contacts in it (company, Fname, Lname, phone, etc). I'm trying to build an external list with something so users can type in a search string (name, company, etc) and then select the contact they want & update/delete/add new contacts if necessary.
I've built an external content type that is able to successfully do all that I want when connected to an external list when I limit the results (the db has over 100,000 contacts).
Using the BDL webpart I'm able to query & view results as desired, however I can't seem to find an option to add, edit or remove the information from this webpart.
Ideally I'm trying to have an external list. Above the external list a few boxes to enter search criteria. What would be the best way to achieve this? I've tried the method using the javascript & html form boxes but something isn't working and the query isn't searching at all.
