Using picklists with form processing steps

Many form processing steps enable you to use a picklist to configure the step's action. The picklist maps a value from the form to a value needed to run the form processing step. For example, you can use a picklist to determine the email address to send a notification message to, based on the form's country selection, as may be the case if you have regional sales representatives who need to be notified of a form submission in their region. The picklist would map the country selection to a specific representative’s email address. When Oracle Eloqua runs the processing step, it looks for the country in the picklist and uses the corresponding email address as the destination inbox.

A picklist is set up with display names for the selectable items (those that contacts can select from the picklist on the form) and actual values (the corresponding values that Oracle Eloqua uses for the processing step). Use the table below to help determine the actual value to use.
