Managing shared lists

On the Lists tab you maintain shared value lists — e.g. operating modes, device status, priority. You edit a list in one place, together with the values it contains.

Today this is the MANAGER — wiring to dropdowns is coming

The point of shared lists is that many dropdown fields can reference the same source. That referencing mechanism is still under development — today the tab is the list manager (you create/edit), and wiring them into diary fields comes later. It is still worth maintaining the master lists so they are ready.

Before you start

• Permission: the diary-structure right — layout:manage (or full tenant admin).
• Where to find it: the Lists tab in the management area.

Create a new list

1. Enter the list name in the top field (e.g. Operating modes).
2. Click New list.

Load preset lists

The Load preset lists button loads common industrial lists (operating modes, device status, priority…) at once. It does not duplicate existing ones, so it is safe to press again.

Edit a list

Each list has its own card:

1. Add Items: enter the value (e.g. Normal operation), then Add item.
2. Remove an item with remove.
3. The list can be renamed on the card (Rename); save changes with Save.
