This article is about the term. For the configuration tab, see Autocompletion (configuration tab).

The autocompleter is a small file that stores information about the data that has been entered. The data is then used to automatically fill in (complete) common data (such as entered DKP values). The data is contained in a file named autoCompletion.xml located in the work directory.

Current uses

The autocompleter currently stores the following values.

  • Names and associated prices of previously entered loot items.
  • Names of people that have purchased items.
  • Names and associated rewards of previously entered events.

Example

Lets say that someone has previously entered two loot items: Sword of uber for 100 DKP and then Sword of power for 200 DKP. The following partial names will result in the following completions.

  • S: Sword of power for 200 DKP
  • Sword: Sword of power for 200 DKP
  • Sword of : Sword of power for 200 DKP
  • Sword of u: Sword of uber for 100 DKP
  • Sword of useless: No completions.

Sharing via the server

It's possible to upload the completions to the server so that anyone can download them, providing an easy way to keep the completions in sync. It is done via the menu. The download completions on connect and upload completions on exit options are useful for this purpose.
