Setting Up Lists of Values
The administrator typically sets up Lists of Values (LOVs) for use in Siebel Business Applications. Although all types of release items share the Status field, the LOVs for the Status field are likely specific to each release item. For example, while the Status values for an engineering task typically relate to the development phase of the task (Unit Test, Final, and so on), the Status values for a technical publications document typically relate to the production phase of the document (Draft, Final Edit, and so on). So that users do not have to review long LOVs for phases that are related to their work, you might have to restrict the views where specific LOVs appear. For more information about setting up LOVs and restricting the views associated with specific LOVs, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide. Table 40 describes the LOVs to set up before using Release Manager. In this table, the Type column denotes the drop-down list record in the List of Values view.

This task is a step in Process of Administering Release Manager. Lists of Values for Special Tag Fields
You must also add a List of Values (LOV) for the Special Tag field in the QA Test Plans view. Table 41 shows an example of how you might set the fields of several new LOV records to populate the Special Tag field with values.
