Updates to code lists

The contents of code lists (that is pick lists, icon lists, and SCC lists) are not part of the database schema, and can be updated at any time by any authorized user. The modifications are replicated to the other sites in the usual way, and will be available to any user who logs on after the changed list is replicated.

Note: Adding or editing the description of a list, or assigning a pick list as a parent or child to create a filtered pick list, is a schema change and is not replicated.

Users who are logged on at the time the change is made continue to see the old pick list (see following information), icon list, or SCC list until they do one of the following:

• Close and then reopen the database.

• Display the pick list dialog and then click OK to close it (which updates the contents of all the lists).

This does not apply to filtered pick lists where changes to the contents are seen as soon as they are replicated.
