Pick lists
Pick lists determine the values available for selection when using a Suggested From Code List type field or a Selected From Code List type field. You can restrict who is allowed to edit pick lists.
There are two versions of the Pick List dialog, depending on whether the list is filtered or not. Filtered lists allow you to assign a group of values to one or more values in a parent list. See Editing filtered pick lists.
Pick lists, and the fields they apply to, are defined in the database design. Filtered lists,
where one list is assigned as the parent of another, are also set up in iBase Designer.
Note: Some
similar fields may use different code lists. The name of a list may indicate what field(s) it is
used by. For example, a Hair Color list might be used for a Hair Color field in Person entity type
records, and a Vehicle Color list might be used for the Vehicle Color field of a Vehicle entity
type. Although both lists contain lists of colors they are separate pick lists.
