Defining Value Lists
Mark Conway Munro · Apress eBooks · 2021
A value list is a return-delimited sequence of values. Lists can be created by formulas or by defining one as a centralized resource. A predefined list can be a set of static values or values dynamically compiled from the contents of a field gathered directly from a table or through a relationship. Once defined, these lists can be assigned to a field to enable selection-based data entry by means of drop-down lists, pop-up menus, checkboxes, and radio buttons. Using value lists as the control style for a field increases data entry speed and ensures accuracy and consistency. This chapter covers the following topics regarding defining value lists.
