that values that are associated to pick lists, which can be attached to fields.
The same pick list can be attached to multiple fields, allowing for consistency.
Pick List Entry Form
Please refer to the Help topic How To Use Pick Lists for more information.
Pick List
This is the Pick List records that this entry pertains to.
Order
This is the position in the list that this entry will appear in. For example,
a value of 1 will appear first in the list.
When you create a new entry, it will automatically assign the next highest
value in this field.
Key
This is the value that will be stored in the database. For Example, if the key value
is RET and this pick list is associated with the Debtor Type field, then in the database
for the debtor record, the text RET will be stored in the de_type field.
Text
This is the text value to display on the screen when this item is selected on the field.
For example, if the Text is Retail and this pick list is associated with the Debtor Type
field, then the text Retail will display in the field for the end user when they open
a Debtor, instead of the KEY defined above.
Color
Instead of a color field where you can put in a hex value, this record has the Red Green Blue
(RGB) values separated out.
When populated, the color will display in the field and in the pick list when you are selecting
a new value. Using color helps to make specific value stand out.
Red
A number from 1 to 255 representing the Red portion of a color.
Green
A number from 1 to 255 representing the Green portion of a color.
Blue
A number from 1 to 255 representing the Blue portion of a color.
