Merge Pick Lists

Multiple pick lists may be merged into a new pick list.

To merge pick lists

1. Select the pick lists to be merged from the list, and click Merge PickList.

   • All selected lists must have the same data type. If they are not, a warning message is displayed.

   • At least two pick lists must be selected. A maximum of five pick lists can be merged at once. If less than two or more than five pick lists are selected, an error message is displayed.

     If two to five pick lists are selected, the Merge Picklist window displays.

     

2. Enter the name of the new pick list in the Merged Picklist Name field. The name must be not have been used for any other pick list.

3. Enter a caption for the new pick list in the Merged Picklist Caption field.

4. The pick lists that form the new, merged pick lists may optionally, if User-created, be deleted as part of the process. If this is required, select the Delete existing Picklists checkbox.

   Pick lists supplied with the product cannot be deleted. If a supplied pick list has been selected for merging, if the checkbox is selected then a message will be displayed informing you of this and the checkbox will revert to being unchecked.

   The pick lists selected for merging are listed in the lower part of the window.

5. Select which of the selected lists are to be merged into the new list by clicking on them, or click the All option if all selected pick lists are to be merged.

6. Click Save to exit the window and save the new merged pick list, which is then added to the list of pick lists and populated with the values from the selected lists.

7. Click Cancel to exit the window without saving the pick list.
