Creating a pick list field

You can configure a field to be a drop down list on a form by adding "Field Choices" to that field.  Fields that don't have any field choices are simple text fields.  Fields that have field choices become pick lists on the various user interfaces.

To configure a pick list for a field

1. Open the Management Console and open any form in the form editor.  See The Management Console for more information.
2. Select the field from the Field List.
3. Click on "Field Choices" in the property panel for that field.
4. Add, delete, or reorder fields in the field choices window as needed.

Field Name vs. Field Value

You'll notice that each pick list value has a "Name" and a "Value" property.  The name property is what is displayed to the user on the form.  The value property is what gets saved to the database.  

For AssetTrack standalone, these values can be the same.  If integrating with another system, you can differ these values so that AssetTracks sends a database ID or other value that is different from what is displayed on the AssetTrack user interface.
