List management

To add, change or remove items in a list, use IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities List Manager. With the List Manager you can change the contents of a list and create new lists.

To navigate to the List Manager, select Tools > Administration > Lists.

By clicking the drop-down box near the Manage By section bar, you can choose to view by Name or by Type.

To modify a list, begin by clicking the radio button next to the name of the list in the Manage By section. After you click the radio button, the list of items in the selected list appears in the right side of the List Manager.

To add an item to a list, enter the text of the item in the field labeled Value and click the Save Entries action.

Items are normally added to a list in alphabetical order. To change the sequence of the items in the list, click an arrow in the Order column. Clicking an upward pointing arrow moves the item up a row; clicking a downward pointing arrow moves the item down a row. To re-sort the list in alphabetical order click the Sort List action. To save the new sequence, click the Save Sequence action.

To delete an item from a list, check the check box next to the item and click Delete.

If a list is a dependent list, an additional field appears on the list section. You can select any item in the parent list to be the value of the Parent List field. The columns only contain items that are paired with the specified item in the parent list. If we add an item to a dependent list, the new item is paired with the specified item in the parent list.
