Create Selection List

Selection lists contain predefined values (such as classifications or locations) to be selected. Selection lists can be flatly or hierarchically structured. You can define the properties for the selection lists. All items in a selection list column belong to the same type.

The defined items can be selected in a combobox.

  • Internal Name

    The internal name of a selection list can be used as domain type (e.g. in an extension) which can be used to reference that item anywhere in the cost model.

    The internal identifier name of the meta data item must be unique for all models in a system.

    The »Name« must match the required pattern:

    • First and last letter should be alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
    • Between first and last letter you also can use special characters (-, _, \, .)
    • Do not use spaces.
    • Do not use more than 125 characters.
    • Do not use Umlaute (ü, ö, ä, ß).

    Do not use »_Position« as internal name for resources, extensions and selection list properties, as it is already defined.
