List Maintenance Codes

Several features of the application allow administrative users to define a list of items. While each of these features has a detail form that includes all of the data fields of the item, the actual list of all existing items for the features is managed through the generic List Maintenance Codes form. This for and the detailed data form work as a "parent" and "child" set of forms.

For example, the list of all media types is managed through a combination of the List Maintenance Codes form (the parent) and the Edit Media Type form (the child).

The main area of the form includes a list of the items being managed. To add a new item to the list, click the Add button. To edit an existing item, select it in the list, and then click the Edit button. You may also double-click an item in the list to edit it. To remove an item from the system, select it the list, then click the Delete button. An item can only be removed if it is no longer in use by other related records.

Some item lists include so many items, it is difficult to quickly locate an item to edit. For these item lists, the Lookup button provides a search feature to assist you in quickly locating the item. Clicking this button will display a search form appropriate to the items being managed.

When you have finished managing the list of items, click the Close button.
