Select List ( )
Field Description
Using the Data Designer
Item List This section of the screen displays the items that you
enter in the Value and Text fields.
Buttons near the bottom of the screen let you remove
items from this list as well as rearrange them.
A Select List field is similar to a Choices field. The biggest
difference is that the responses appear in a drop-down box instead
of being listed separately. To see the choices, click the down arrow
on the right side of the box (circled below).

For example:
Place a check in the box of any item to be checked by
default on the data entry screen. If you do, the user can
accept the default or uncheck the item by clicking in the
checkbox. Note that if Only One is selected under
Allow selection (above), only one item can be
selected.
Value Enter the value that is collected when the data entry
user selects this item.
For example, if Interests appears in the Name field, and
you want music to be collected when the data entry user
selects this item and saves the page, enter music here.
Caption Enter text to describe this item on the data entry screen.
After you insert this field onto the screen, you can use
eWebeditPro+XML’s formatting capabilities to modify
its size, font, color, and other attributes.
Note: The Caption field only appears on this dialog
when you create the Choices field. If you later try to edit
the field, the Caption field is not on the dialog. However,
you can edit the Caption text within the editor.
