Editing filtered pick lists

Filtered pick lists improve data entry by allowing available values in one pick list to be filtered by the selection in a pick list above it. After you have set up filtered pick lists, you can manage the contents to match your needs.

About this task

If you would like to modify the contents of a filtered pick list, remember:
  • Changing the name or description of any item in a parent pick list will change it in the Pick List dialog when editing its child pick list.
  • Deleting an item in a parent list to which items in a child list have been assigned will result in those items being unassigned.
  • Duplicates are not allowed in parent lists
Note: Pick lists can also be edited by users in iBase but you can restrict who is allowed to edit pick lists.

Procedure

  1. Select Code Lists > Pick Lists
  2. Right-click on the pick list you want to edit, and from the shortcut menu, select Edit. You can also double-click on the pick list. The Pick List dialog is displayed.
