Multi-select input type data definitions allow users at runtime to select more than one value to enter into the field at runtime. In the field, the values the user selected are separated with the Separator displayed on the General tab of the Data Definition window (such as a comma).
Note: Do not use an apostrophe (‘) in the data for a multi-select input type data definition. This can result in blank data in the selector. You cannot set a default value for this input type.
To add data set values to a Multi-select Input data definition
| 1 | Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode. |
| 2 | Click Data Structure Setup>Data Definitions>Basic in the left Navigator. The Modify Data Definition window opens. |
| 3 | Click the Data Set tab. |
| 4 | Click Add. An editable row appears on the window. You can press the Tab key to move from one field to the next, or click inside a field. |
| 5 | Enter a Value (128 character limit). This value will appear on the form. Values can contain spaces, but cannot contain the separate value (displayed on the General tab, for example, comma). |
| 6 | In the Status field, enter Active or Inactive. The default is Active. If you want the value to remain on the data set but not show up for users at runtime, you can Inactivate it, rather than remove it. |
| 7 | To add another row, click Add. (Or press the Tab key and tab through the fields of the last row, until the Add button is selected.) |
| 8 | If you want the data set list to be non-editable, then select the Non-Modifiable checkbox. |
Select this if you do want other users to be able to alter the list. Use caution before selecting Non-Modifiable. Once you select this you will be able to rearrange the order and select a different default value but you will not be able to modify or remove values from the data set.
If this option is selected by a user with create permissions, other users cannot modify the data set value list. If it is selected by a user with modify permissions, the option cannot be deselected again, except by a user with create permissions.
| 9 | Click Apply to save your entries, or OK to save and exit. |
