Multi-Level Lists

Multi-level lists allow you to create a tree structure when building a selection list.

For example, if you are designing a Corrective Action form and would like a functional areas tree, you could use the multi-level lists capabilities. These lists can then be added to a form during the field definition design phase. You have the option of making the list either a single-select or multiple-select list.

To add a multi-level list:

  1. Click Multi-Level Lists under Setup on the Tools & Setup panel.

The Multi-Level Lists page displays.

  1. Click the Add New Multi-Level List link at the upper left corner of the page.

The Edit Multi-Level List page displays.

  1. Enter the name and description of the multi-level list. Often, the same entry is used for both of these.
  2. In the New Item Text field, add your first item and then click the Add New Item link.

The item is added to the List Items box.

  1. To add new items under an existing item, creating a tree effect, select the item to highlight it. Then, use the New Item Text field and Add New Item link to add additional items under your selection.

  1. To change or delete an item, select the item.

The item displays in the Selected Item Text field. In the Selected Item Text field:

    • To change the item name, enter the new name and click the Save Item link.
    • To delete the item, click the Delete Item link.

The List Items display is updated accordingly.

  1. When you are done editing, click the Save button.

To delete a multi-level list:

  1. Click Multi-Level Lists under Setup on the Tools & Setup panel.

The Multi-Level Lists page displays.

  1. Click the Delete icon next to multi-list you would like to delete. Make sure the list is not currently used by an existing form.
