This section describes how to create an entry list that enables the runtime user to choose a buyer from a list instead of entering a buyer ID number. It covers how to:

  • Change the control type to a control that supports entry lists

  • Define a static entry list for the control

Procedure

  1. Change the control type:

    1. Open the SalesOrderByBuyer model if it is not already open.

    2. On the Layout board, right-click the Buyer ID field, and choose   Change Control Type   Dropdown List   from the context menu. The control changes to a dropdown list.

  2. Create an entry list:

    1. Right-click the Buyer ID field, and choose Entry List from the context menu. The Entry List Wizard opens.

    2. Enter a name for the entry list, choose the Static option, and click Next.

    3. Use the Add Row (Add Row) button to enter the following items in the entry list:

    4. Click Finish.

  3. Save, deploy, and view the application:

    1. Deploy the model and run the application.

    2. In the runtime application, note that you can select a buyer name from the Buyer ID dropdown list, instead of typing a buyer ID number. The Buyer ID dropdown list should look similar to this:

      Define Buyer Entry List (Define Buyer Entry List)

Result

You have now created an entry list for the Buyer ID field. In the next section, Checking That a Field Value Is Entered, you will define a validation rule for the Buyer ID field.
