Lists

Note: Access to the Lists management screen requires the role 'Dataflow/Lists' (see Roles).

Lists are user-defined collections of data in Dataflow. They can be used, for example, to create dropdown lists in document templates. Each item in a list contains one default data item (the 'Value') - which is termed a property - and additional user-defined properties can be added.

List properties can be used to provide contextual, filtered results where lists are used. For example, you could create a list of countries, assign each country to a region (using a 'Region' property) and then add a filter to a document template that will display a sub-list of countries based on a specific region.

Note: Property data in lists are not related to 'properties' as document-level variables defined in documents (see Properties).

Lists manager

Lists are managed using the Lists manager in the Manage Data workspace.

See Lists manager.

List item ordering

The order of items in a list in the Lists manager determines the order of menu items as they will be seen by users in dropdown menus in the Dataflow UI.

For details see Lists manager.
