How to Create a Pick List
A pick list can speed up and bring uniformity to data entry.
To Setup a Pick List
- We need to go to the Add/Remove Field page. First, click on the Layers button.
- Next, click on the layer name.
- Click the More tab.
- Then, click Add/Remove Fields.
- Click on the field you want to add a pick list to (or add a new field)
- Click the "chg" link next to this field name.
- Change the field type to "PICK"
- Type a list of all the items you want to show up in the pick list. Put each item on its own row.
- Click OK, then "Apply Changes."
Allow Add Pick List Item
There could be situations where a user wants to enter a value that is not already on the pick list for that field. Check this box if you want to allow the user to be able to add new entries to the pick list on-the-fly from the feature form. Leave this box unchecked to limit the user's entry to only these choices.
