Creating pick lists
Create a new empty list and add the values one at a time. This is suitable for lists that will contain only a small number of items, or where you do not have a file containing the values you want to use.
Procedure
- Select .
- In the Name box, type the name for the pick list. Optionally, type some text to provide more information about the pick list in the Description box.
- To add items to the list, enter an item value and, optionally, a description in the first
row. As soon as you type (or paste some text) another blank row is automatically created. To add
further items, 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.
- Continue to add items, then sort the list as required, by moving items up or down the list, or by sorting the entire list alphabetically. Item values must be unique.
- When you are happy with the contents and the order of the list values, click OK.
- Assign the pick list to the required field in an entity type or link type. See Creating a field.
