One of the options for the Type of UDV is a 'LIST' which will allow Users to choose from a predefined List.

There are two parts for setting up a List Type:

  • Name of the List Type - This is what the Users will see on the User Variable Definition screen in the 'User-Defined List Type' drop down (See Screen Shot #1 below)
  • Values for the Drop Down - These values will appear on the Master Records User Defined tab for selection. (See Screen Shot #2 below)

There are two ways to add a List Type:

  • From the Home screen - From the Home screen, select Tools → User Defined Lists → Edit List Types... (See Screen Shot #5 below)
