List

Adds a field that contains a list of possible values that a user can choose from when selecting the value of the field. The available list items are generated from the properties of an existing asset.

For example, if you create a List field from a Business Asset Type, the assets of that Business Asset Type are used to form the list items that can be chosen as the value for the field. When the asset definition page is displayed, the List field value is shown as a link to the corresponding asset.

• Select List: The asset that you want to use as the basis of the list.
• Optional: Default Value: Choose a default value to be applied to new and existing assets.
• Allow ALL Value Selection: Set to True and enter a label for this field if you want to add a list item that allows the record to always be displayed when filtering. For example, a List field is added to an asset type. The list items are all countries. The Allow ALL Value Selection option is enabled, with a label of "All". On the asset type list view, you filter by "Country A". The grid displays all records that have a List field value of "Country A" or "All".
• Display Format: This represents the value that is displayed when an asset appears in a list view. The default Display Format depends on the asset type selected in the Select List menu. For example, for a Reference List Item, the default Display Format is {Code}. This is a variable that is replaced with the name of the Reference List Item Code field on the asset list page.
• Edit Format: This represents the value that is displayed in the asset definition page, and when an asset is being created or edited.
• Allow Multiple Items: If selected, more than one value can be entered for the field. For example, if the locations involved in a process span multiple countries, then each country involved in the process can be selected if Allow Multiple Items is enabled. If Allow Multiple Items is not selected, then only one list item can be selected.
