Automatic list example

You can create an automatic list that you can use to group activities by store size using this example:

It is useful to select activities based on Lawson-defined attributes. For example, Moose Wood Outfitters can create a list of design activities based on the Lawson-defined level address attribute. They can use this list to compare design activity costs between projects, or to construct a pool of design costs that they can allocate to other activities.

  1. Specify these user attributes:
    Name:

    SIZE

    Object type:

    Activity (ACTVY)

    Element:

    Alpha 6

    Values:

    SMALL

    MEDIUM

    LARGE

  2. For each activity performed to construct a medium-sized store, select the MEDIUM option to the attribute SIZE for the activity.
  3. Create a list named MED_STORES for activities performed in the construction of medium-sized stores with this attribute value range:
    SIZE:

    From MEDIUM To MEDIUM

    Note: Preview the list to verify that the appropriate activities are selected.
  4. Select the MEDIUM list on reports or inquiries to include only activities performed to construct medium-sized stores.
