Value Lists versus "Setup page" and DBs

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Ok.. I want to make my new database easy for admins to add/remove value lists as products change or grow.

Typically, I would just make Value Lists and enter in values there, but for future use, they are tough to edit add/remove items as things change, So this time I am making a "setup" layout that they can enter in values via portals of common items that can then be used later as value lists.

My dilema is that I have roughly 20 values lists I would like to create.. so do I make 20 databases with the list items for each, or one database with all the value fields for everything and then in the setup page, just filter the records to those with the data I am seeking?

Does that make sense at all. Let me know everyones thoughts... maybe I am over thinking this or there is an easier way to do this.

Thanks,

blake

I am not sure I understand your purpose. Typically, "as products change or grow" is reflected in the Products table - and the value list is defined to show values from fields in that table.

If you have value lists that do not justify a table of their own, you can authorize users (or some users) to modify them (or some of them).
