This article provides steps to set up "Lists". Using a list takes out any risk of typo's as it gives the user a list of pre-existing values to choose from, rather than typing in the values.
To create a new list, navigate to System Menu > Admin > Customization > Custom Lists (for Fields).
Create your own values:
- Click "+ Add" to create a new list
- Give the list a name
- Choose the "Create own values" list type
- Add new values, clicking the save button to add each new value
- Choose default value (optional)
Source from users list:
- Click "+ Add" to create a new list
- Give the list a name
- Choose the "Source from users list" list type
- Click the "+ Add" button to users
- Choose default value (optional)
Source from DISTY (distribution) list:
- Click "+ Add" to create a new list
- Give the list a name
- Choose the "Source from DISTY list" list type
- Click the "+ Add" button to add a distribution list
- Choose default value (optional)
Not commonly used, but if you had a Contractor / Engineering Partner, this option would allow you to choose their distribution list.
