System Lists

 
System lists are provided by default and for which you can define custom values. System lists appear throughout PMWeb in various record types. The folder tree is used to view, add, delete, rename, and make values inactive. Once it is made inactive, a list value can no longer be selected to use in records (it is hidden in the dropdown list). Making a list value inactive has no effect on records that have already used the list value.
