Editing pick lists

You can edit item names and items descriptions, add and remove items and change the order in which the items are displayed. You can also edit the name and description of the pick list itself. The pick list description is only visible when editing a pick list.

Procedure

  1. In the Items list, click to select an item.

  2. To edit the item name, click in the Value column and enter the name.

  3. To edit the item description, click in the Description column and enter the description. Item descriptions are optional but can help you to choose the right value when entering data in a record.

  4. To add a new item, do one of the following:

    • Click on the row below where you want the new item, and then click Insert Row. Enter the name and description in the new blank row.

    • Click the blank item at the bottom of the list. This adds a new item at the end of the list. You can then use the Move buttons to move the item to where you want it in the list.

  5. To delete an item, right-click and select Delete.

  6. Click OK.

    Note: Other users who are logged on to the database will continue to see the old list until they close and reopen the database, or display the Pick List dialog and then click OK to close it (which updates the contents of all the lists).
