Pick List (Advanced)

 

 

 

Setup:

The setup for the Pick List (Advanced) is exactly like the Pick List (Basic) setup; however, since the Advanced version restricts users from manually inputting values that do not appear in the pick list, it carries some checks that do not exist in the basic version. See Rebuild Pick List to review possible errors and solutions.

 

New Layer:

When setting up a field in a new layer, the Pick List must be built manually.

 

1) In the Layer Format, select the desired field, and then select Pick List (Advanced) from the Input Method drop-down menu.

 

          

 

2) In the pop-up window, manually type in the desired values. The Enter key will act as a character return. Click OK when done.

3) When creating a New Feature in the layer, that field will have a drop-down menu with values created by the user.

 

          

 

Existing Layer:

1) In the Layer Format for the existing layer, select the desired field, and then select Pick List (Advanced) from the Input Method drop-down menu.

 

          

 

2) Since an existing layer already has features that have values populated, instead of manually entering the values, click on Rebuild Pick List.

4) The selected values will now appear in the Pick List setup window. Click OK on the setup window to confirm the changes.
