It seems like a lot of the functionality you are creating here is what Skuid already allows you to do without code; I’m having trouble seeing how this is different than creating a table or queue and using the search box.

 Perhaps you could provide a little more context for the situation you are describing.

One glaring feature missing from SKuid is the ability use auto complete/lookup to add a new record when no matches have been found. From what I see, when no matches have been found the value entered disappears and/or no option appears to create a “new” record using the value entered. If its there, please point me in the right direction, otherwise I want to try and implement something in javascript that will display an “Add New” button and use the value entered in the search box. The html table, button and search box are done as well as retrieving ALL the records from the custom object. Now I need to either filter the rows in the custom object OR search the custom object with the values entered in the html input box.

Glenn.  A fellow forum member mapped out a pretty decent model for this behavior here: https://community.skuid.com/t/how-to-allow-search-for-existing-accounts-before-adding-…

Its in the mobile builder, so there are some differences, but I think you could apply the principles. 

Thank you for replying. I reviewed the link and unfortunately I need the search capability for the “Deck” in the mobile layout to be in the desktop layout. Anyway I can incorporate the same approach in a desktop page?

Build similar functionality on a skuid table (for the desktop builder) instead of the Deck.
