Handling Picklists

The Picklists tab provides you with the capability to control the entries that are visible in the picklist fields of your Vault, as well as their specific order. Here, you have the ability to view both standard picklists and custom picklists. The standard picklists are marked with the icon, whereas the custom picklists are identifiable by the icon .
You have the option to add or remove new picklists within the Vault Navigator/Picklist window.
When you add a picklist, it will automatically be categorized as a custom picklist. When you provide a label for it, the Picklist Name field will automatically populate with the same name as the label, followed by "__c" at the end. You can modify this value if needed.
Once you've added a picklist and included the desired values, it's essential to save it within the vault by clicking the Save to Vault button.
It's not possible to delete picklists that have values in the Used in field, as they are currently in use.
Within the picklist interface, you'll find the Used In section. Clicking on the link will redirect you to the corresponding area within the dqMan, where the document or object is displayed.
You have the option to import additional values into the chosen picklist. If there are pre-existing values, they will be highlighted in red for your reference. You can arrange the values in ascending or descending order. Pre-existing values can be modified either from the context menu or by pressing F2.
You have the ability to modify values in the label and name fields, as well as toggle the status (activate or deactivate) of the values within the picklist.
For adding new values, you can utilize the context menu with the Insert option (Ctrl + Ins), or use the copy-paste function, ensuring that the format complies with the picklist requirements. Values that are not in used in the Used In section can be deleted, while those in use can only be disabled and not completely removed.
To make the changes permanent, you must use the Save to Vault button. Otherwise, they will only be retained in the local edit mode of the picklist.
