A list is a type of user interface element that allows the user to choose values from a list to update a field instead of typing values into a field. You can define the following types of lists:

• Static list. Acquires data from the Siebel list of values table, which an administrator maintains. The data in the list of values table is static. For more information, see Creating a List of Values.
• Dynamic list. Acquires data from tables that the user maintains, such as S_CONTACT or S_ORG_EXT. The data in these tables are dynamic.
