Applications Administration Guide > Working with Lists of Values > About Lists of ValuesA list of values (LOV) is a set of values that populates a static picklist, which is accessed when a user clicks a drop-down list in the user interface. Drop-down lists can be based on two types of picklists: static picklists and dynamic picklists.
The remainder of this section focuses on static picklists, whose contents can be administered from the list-of-values views. For information on how to set up a new list of values and configure both static and dynamic picklists, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications. This section describes how to work with the values that populate static picklists, including how to create or modify values in an existing list of values, and inactivate values when you do not want them to display. In addition, it describes how lists of values can be constrained by selections in other lists. NOTE: If you will be creating multilingual lists of values (MLOV), you should also review Configuring Siebel Business Applications. There are two views in the Administration - Data screen in which you can view list-of-values data: The values in these two views are the same. Only the format in which the information is presented is different. The procedures in this section give instructions that specify using the list view. If you prefer to use the explorer view, you may do so. Your Siebel applications come with numerous lists of values that support the static picklists used throughout Siebel screens. You can use these as they are, or you can modify them through the list-of-values views to support your organization's requirements. |
