The Entry List Manager is used to create global lists of options, for use in bulleted and numbered lists, drop-down lists, and groups of radio buttons throughout the model. Once created, these global entry lists are available in any of the model UI components that contain the relevant controls.

 

You use this dialog box, accessed by choosing   Tools   Entry List Manager  , to create three types of lists:

  • Static lists, which have set values that you define.

  • Dynamic lists, which are populated at runtime according to the input fields selected and the corresponding values assigned.

  • Value Help lists ,which are auxiliary design-time tools implemented through a wizard. They help you identify a data service and configure a list of master data values to store in a static entry list.

For an explanation of the procedure for creating global and local entry lists, see “How to . . .” Create an Entry List in the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Modeler's Guide.

Structure

The structure of the dialog box changes according to the type of list chosen. Once you have added an entry list, you create it exactly as you do local entry lists in the Control Properties dialog box.

The three buttons at the bottom left are used to manage the creation of the global entry lists:

  • Add: a drop-down list for selecting the type of global entry list that you want to create:

    Each list is shown in the Entry Lists pane above the buttons. When you click on a list, the details about it are displayed to the right, for viewing and/or editing.

  • Remove: Deletes the selected global entry list

  • Rename: Activates the name for you to edit the existing one
