Two of the fields in the Picklist Generic business component together define and group the lists of values, as follows:

  • Type. Each list of values has a type. The type groups together all records that are in one list of values. For example, a type of LEAD_QUALITY identifies a record as a member of the Lead Quality list of values, and the type ACCOUNT_TYPE refers to the Account Type list of values.
  • Value. The Value is the portion of the record that actually appears in the static picklist. For example, Lead Quality values are Excellent, Very Good, High, Fair, and Poor.
