Administration Settings Fields Fields view Edit Metafield form Edit Options Edit Options form Value form

The Value form enables you to add or edit a value from the list of values for the selected flex field. N4 displays the list of values as a lookup field or a drop-down list to assist the user during data entry for the flex field.

If you want to create a drop-down list, select the Allow only options from pick list check box in the Edit Metafield form (on page 1).

To add a value to the list of values:

1. In the Value field, enter the text you want to display as an option for the user when updating a flex field.

2. In the Description field, enter a short description for the value.

3. Click Save.

N4 displays the value in the Edit Options form (on page 1). 

4. Repeat the above steps to add all the values for the selected flex field.

5. To close the Edit Options form, click Close.

6. To close the Edit Metafield form, click Cancel.

After you save the changes to a field, you must select Actions Reset to propagate the changes to the forms and list views where the field is used. For example, if you change the Long Label for a field, you must select Actions Reset to view the changes in the form where N4 displays the field.

Notes

• N4 executes the Reset action only on the current node where you are logged in. If you have installed N4 in a cluster, you must execute the Reset action on each node so that the changes are propagated to all the instances of N4 in the cluster.
