You use the Text List Manager tab of the Outline Editor to create and edit Text List objects.
In addition to numeric measures, databases can also have typed measures with text or date based values. Typed measures enable cell values to contain one of an enumerated list of text labels. These labels are defined, at the outline level, using a mapping artifact called a Text List object.
The Text Lists pane lists Text List objects, enables you to add, delete, import, and export Text List objects, and to sort them alphabetically.
The Edit Mappings pane displays details for the selected Text List object. From this pane you can define typed measures and map them to internally stored integers. In this pane, you can add or delete mappings and automatically generate a mapping of Text List objects to IDs.
