What are Pick Lists?

A pick list consists of values which can be entered in a field. For example, in a City field, the user can select from a list of cities rather than specifying in a value.

Pick lists are useful because pick lists eliminate keystrokes and encourage correct, consistent data entry. After synchronization pick lists provide consistent information across databases.

Depending on the pick list attributes, users can:

  • Select one or more items from the pick list.
  • Add an item to a pick list.
  • Edit an item in the pick list.
