List customization

You can customize the lists that appear on the user interface. You can ensure data integrity by restricting users to selecting values from a list for entry into a field.

You can customize lists by creating a list or modifying an existing one in Tools > Administration > Lists. You can customize the following types of lists:

  • Radio button lists
  • Drop-down lists of static values
  • Dynamic lists derived from values in the database
  • Dependent lists, where a selection from one list filters into another list

Lists can be filtered by the module that they are associated with. For example, the Project module has the following lists: project type (called triProject Type), project business object type (called Project BO Type), project transaction type (called Transaction Project Type), severity (called triSeverity), and work order type (called triWorkOrderType).
