About Dynamic Lists
This topic describes the dynamic list. It includes the following information:
Similar to a static list, a dynamic list is a type of list that allows the user to choose a value from a list, and then Siebel CRM uses the value to update a field. Rather than getting the values from the list of values table, a dynamic list gets values from another business component that the user maintains. A field that uses a dynamic list is typically a joined field that displays data from a table other than the base table of the business component. The dynamic list allows the user to update the joined field.
You use a pick applet to display a dynamic list in the Siebel client. The pick applet allows the user to choose a value from a list, and then enter the value into a control or the cell of a list column. For more information, see Using the Pick List Wizard to Create a Dynamic List.
