This dialog box is used when creating a local or global entry list, in order to define the data service - and its input and output ports - from which the values for the list are taken.

 

When defining a dynamic entry list for global use, using the Entry List Manager, this dialog box is displayed automatically (see Entry List Manager). When defining a dynamic entry list for local use within a form, you need to display it by clicking at the right of the Data service field (see Control Properties - Entry List Tab).
