Configuration Editor - Manage Lists

The List Manager provides tools to create, edit, and delete lists for text and numeric based properties. A list can then be associated with a one or more properties to provide users with a list of values when editing the property value in the iPropWiz Property Editor. If the configuration allows users to request list additions to simple text lists, you can approve or reject requests through the List Manager.

Manage List Additions

Click the button to view a video that demonstrates how to managing list additions.

If one or more of your configurations require approval for list additions, you can accept any or all current requests through the Approve List Additions dialog. In the following image:

The *Global node is a parent node for all global lists. Each global list with outstanding requests, and those requests, are listed as child nodes.

The same hierarchy is shown for configuration specific lists with outstanding list addition requests.

Check a requested value to accept it for addition to the specified list.

Check a parent node to check all child nodes. Uncheck a parent node to uncheck all child nodes.

Note: All list requests are processed only once. When you click OK, all checked requests are added to the appropriate list. All requests are then discarded.
