Forcing Pick Boxes to Display

You can now force a Pick Box list to display whenever a user edits a field that has the Pick Box option. Before you had to take an action such as clicking on the Pick Box button to view the list of Pick Box choices. In order to use this new feature you have to turn it on in the Global Options Screen in Maintenance. Once the feature is activated it will only work for those fields where you have saved a local list of the Pick Box choices. In other words, this feature is an extension of the Pick Box List Manager. This means you don't have worry about Pick Box screens popping up all over the place when you're editing. You control which fields it works for by saving your list of Pick Box choices for the desired field. This new option should make it even easier to encourage users to enter data consistently in the fields where that is important. You can view a new Training Video on this feature at our web site.
