  //Get the current client context   
        context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
        var List = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(listTitle);

        //Create a new record
        var listItemCreationInformation = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
        var listItem = List.addItem(listItemCreationInformation);

        //Set the values
        listItem.set_item('ProjectName', txtProjectName.val());

        // Create a schema to store picker properties, and set the properties.
        var schema = {};
        schema['PrincipalAccountType'] = 'User,DL,SecGroup,SPGroup';
        //This value specifies where you would want to search for the valid values

        schema['MaximumEntitySuggestions'] = 50;
        schema['Width'] = '280px';
        // Render and initialize the picker.
        // Pass the ID of the DOM element that contains the picker, an array of initial 
        // PickerEntity objects to set the picker value, and a schema that defines
        // picker properties.           
        this.SPClientPeoplePicker_InitStandaloneControlWrapper(peoplePickerElementId, null, schema);
