Comparison of a Static List to a Dynamic List

A static list differs from a dynamic list in the following ways:

A static list is a static list of values. It does not get values dynamically from a pick business component. An administrator defines these values in the List of Values view in the Administration - Data screen.
A static list typically does not call a dialog box with multiple list columns and buttons. Instead, it uses a simple pop-up list that contains one column and no buttons. It is possible to use a pick applet rather than a simple list to display a static list of values, but Siebel CRM does not frequently use this configuration.
A static list does not provide data for multiple controls in the originating applet. It provides data for a single control in the applet and the corresponding field in the business component that the applet references.
