54 Plan and Create the Production Form
ID Works Basic Version 5 Administrator’s Guide
List Field
When used in the ID Works Production application, a list field
produces a list box rather than a text box. The values you specify
appear in the list. You can have as many list fields as necessary on a
Production Form. The variable graphic card field is best used with a
list field.
List fields help reduce data input errors and variations. For example,
assume you need to capture the work site for your employees, that
your organization has six sites, and that sometimes site names are
abbreviated and other times they are spelled out. To complicate
matters, assume one of the sites has a name that is often misspelled.
You can establish a list field that contains the official abbreviations for
your sites. Your Production operators simply select the appropriate
site from the list, saving time and reducing spelling errors.
You can specify a prompt for the field and how the field will look on
the form—the font and color attributes of the operator prompt and the
values in the list. You can enter list field values in the Designer
application or import them from a file that you know is correct. You
can change the order of items in the list after you have entered them.
