Settings / User-Defined Lists

 

User-Defined Lists are the pick-lists which are available to users both to drop coding into Items and to define Queries. They are empty or have default values in a new Case.

User-Defined Lists are one of the Settings found on the Control Panel Case Menu.

There are several look-up lists available throughout Openlaw. These are pre-defined words or phrases which are used to describe or define a head of classification for Items in the Case.

In the case of Category Labels and the Lists shown below, creating an entry makes it available:

to be picked for a single Item

to be applied globally to a Selection of Items

to make the same words or phrases available to help you frame a Query

In the case of the two Type classifications below, a new entry allows you to define:

a new relationship Type between Items and Names

a new relationship type between two Items
