Library, Item Edit window displays several dropdown lists: TYPE, PUBLISHER, PLACE, SERIES, CATEGORY, LEVEL, FORMAT.

Click Options/Maintenance to access Dropdown Lists function.

Several data fields already have a dropdown list data entry control (TYPE, PUBLISHER, PLACE, SERIES, and more).

Check mark in the front of the text field defines dropdown lists.

How can I prepare the values for my dropdown list?

Create a new folder on your computer. In this folder, store your "dropdown list" text file. Use Windows Notepad to create or edit these files. Enter the list values, one per line.

For example this text file represents short list of Dewey subject categories.

To load list items from a text file, follow these steps:
1. Select a data field (e.g., CATEGORY) from the dropdown list (1).
2. Choose the TYPE (2).
3. Click on "Load From File" (3) and select the text file containing your list.
4. New items will be displayed in the "Dropdown List Items" (4) box.
5. Click "Save Items" (5) to save the new entries.

Note: You can also manually type any item directly into the box (one item per line). Be sure to click "Save Items" to store these new entries.
