Upload a table of valid values

Create the table of values

  1. Determine the valid values for the field.
  2. Prepare a comma-separated value (.csv) file with a single column and with a column heading in the first row. Enter a single value of u to 100 characters in each subsequent row.

    Note:

    For a field that is the subsidiary field in a linked pair, the table that you upload should contain two columns. The first column should contain the values for that field, and the second column should contain the values that are valid for the controlling, parent field.

    For example:

    Typical format:

    upload field values

    Format for subsidiary linked fields only:

    upload linked values

  3. Save the file with the .csv (comma-separated value) file extension.
