Value List

System value lists in Emptoris® Contract Management are available by default. You can also create values lists to apply to custom properties. You can reuse a user-defined value list in several custom properties. Regardless of the origin of a value list, you can edit it to add values, make values active or inactive, or make an entire user-defined value list active or inactive.

Definition

Value list is a feature that is used to define the contents of certain drop-down lists in Emptoris Contract Management. When a value is defined, users can select from these values to apply a value to the property or parameter in an object that uses such a list.

Purpose

Each list value that you define is used for one or more of the following purposes:
  • Providing information when selected in an object. It becomes a property of that object.
  • Providing a filtering criterion to users to select only objects or related objects that have a certain value.
  • Carrying out a distinct custom operation on selecting a value that is defined within a value list (only applicable in certain cases).
