Enumerated List Static selection lists that give you more control over sorting and grouping. The lists are generated from an existing form template.  The form ID must be entered in Ref Form. Users will only be able to choose one item from the dropdown list for the value of that field. Enumerated lists are recommended because the information is stored as a number, rather than a string. Ref Form The form ID of the form template containing the enumerated list. The only time you need to enter a form ID is if you use an enumerated list. The form ID needs to reside in a settings file, not necessarily in the form that is being used. If the field is a numeric enumerated list, the list of choices can be drawn from a form stored in the client settings file.

Right Aligns contents to the right side of the column and sorts forward (dates columns are sorted to display the newest item first, and text fields sort alphabetically). Center Centers contents in the middle of the column and sorts forward (dates columns are sorted to display the newest item first, and text fields sort alphabetically).

Editable Any user with the "Edit items" permission can edit this column. Image for Icon If you have an image field on a form, you can use this as the icon. When the container is viewed in Icon view, you will see the image. The size of your image field will control the size of your icon. Within your document, the image field automatically thumbnails the picture. If you double-click the field, you will see a full size image. Choose either "Up" or "Up Linked" as the Propagation. Hide no Data Columns do not appear in the List View until the defined column contains field data. This allows you to add a wider selection of columns without them all displayed on the interface. Text for Icon Choose any field for the icon label. When the container is viewed in Icon view, you will see the text under the icon. Propagation System The field exists only at the list level and is not copied from a document or form. Up The field is copied to the list when the document or form is changed. Down The field is copied to the document or form when the list is changed. Up/Down A combination of Up & Down above. Up/Linked If the form has another form attached to it, this option enables you to bring up field data from the attached form. The field is copied from an attached document. Icon The icon to use in place of a text title, for small columns. If the column type is Icon, click to choose an icon. Max Str Size The maximum amount to copy, when copying text to the list. The list has limited space available and larger limits make the container slower to load. Col Width The width of the column. On Enables the column. Add Column Adds another row where you can define an additional custom column. Delete Column Removes the selected column from the column document. To disable a column without deleting it, clear the "On" checkbox.
