Define a pop-up list

This is a data table field type that allows users to select a value from a predefined list. Nested pop-up lists can be created, for example, you might have a parent data field listing the different departments within an organization, then a second child data field listing the different roles within each department.

Note: Data table managers and administrators can add items to a pop-up list when adding data table records to a data table.

1.	From the Tools menu choose Data Tables, then Data Tables.

2.	From the File menu choose Popup List Definitions.

3.	Click Add New List and enter a name for the list.

Note: To define a child pop-up list you must have the parent list highlighted when you click Add New List. Then select the Depends on Parent check box.

4.	Click Add Item to add items to the pop-up list.

5.	Enter a value for the item and click OK.

6.	Repeat steps 4-5 for each item that you want to add.

Popup Lists

If the list is long, consider sorting it to allow users to find items more easily. Click Sort to toggle the list. You can import a pop-up list (.csv or .txt) by clicking Import items from file .
