A single selection list is type of data element (either a list of radio buttons or a drop-down list called a combo box) from which only one value can be selected. In the Data Inventory Manager, you can set how each single selection list displays.

Note.jpg By default, all single selection lists display as radio buttons.

To set how a single selection list displays:

  1. From the Customisation menu, select Data Inventory Manager.
The Data Inventory Manager window displays.
  1. From the left pane of the Data Inventory Manager window, select the item and data category to which you would like to edit a single selection list attribute.
  2. From the right pane, click the row associated with the item attribute you would like to edit.
  3. Click the FieldViewIcon.png button.
The Custom Options List window displays.
  1. In the Selection Display field, choose either the Radio Buttons or Combo Box option.
  2. Click the Done button.
The single selection list will now display according to your setting each time you add it to a field report template.
Note.jpg If you wish to edit how only one instance of a single selection list displays, see the How To Change Single Selection Lists Display Properties.
Note.jpg After editing a single selection list, you should update field report templates that use the list. For more information, see Change an Existing Field Report Template.
