Asset and form data lists provide data to form controls such as
combo boxes, single record boxes, and tables. When you create one
of these controls on a form, one of the control properties is the
data list that you want to use to populate the control.
There are two types of asset data lists you can create:
Dynamic data lists: These lists are created in
the Design console and populated through the Web console. Dynamic
data lists link to an asset, form, or supporting resource you
specify. Once you provide the source item, you can select the
display column you want from the form. The display column data is
then visible in the combo box or single record box.
Static data lists: These lists are created and
populated in the Design console. You can filter what Web console
users see based on a static
list. Web console users can't update a static list's contents.
Static data lists require you to enter each item you want to appear
in the list. The list data is then visible in the combo box
referencing that static data list.
To create a data list
In the navigation pane, click the Asset tab or
the Form tab and open the Data lists pane.
Create a folder for the new data list or use
an existing folder.
Right-click the folder you want to contain the view
and click New data list > dynamic list or static
list.
Give the new data list a name and double-click
it.
