List

You can use a List control to present a predefined list of text values.

In the right pane, set the properties of each control.

Attributes

Name Labels the control.
Do not use spaces in the name and do not start the name with a number, a punctuation mark, or the letters xml.
Design Table Variables Lists available variables from the design table. Select one to assign to the control.
Type Sets a method for populating the list:

List

Populates the list with the values from Values.

Range from Design Table

Populates the list with values from the design table spreadsheet. In Range, specify the range of cells that contain the values, in the format X1:X10. For example, if the design table spreadsheet has values in cells H8, H9, H10, H11, and H12, enter H8:H12 to list the five values in the list control.

Data

  Parent Creates a context-sensitive control by setting different values for this control depending on the value selected for the parent control. If you specify one or more data parents, the Values or Range table expands to include a column for each combination of the data parent values, so you can assign a different list for each combination.

Not available for the first control.
Add Parent Adds another Parent field.
  Values Populates the list with the values that you enter. Enter one value per cell. Press Enter or Tab to move between cells.
