Add Items to a List

The items in a list are used in forms for mobile users, and as dropdown options in Referral Management (Carelink).

You can create lists with as many hierarchical levels as you want. For example, you could have a Medical Team list that at the top level lists staff types such as Nurse, Surgeon, and Consultant. The Consultant list item then contains types of consultant such as Anaesthetics, Paediatrics, Pathology, and within each of those consultant types is a list of staff names. This type of hierarchical list can then be used as part of a multi-select list control.

1. In WebAdmin select Lists.

2. On the Lists page, select the list to be configured.

   Use the Search field to filter the lists.

   The Edit dialog appears.

3. Select Add New List Item.

4. In the Add List Item dialog:

   1. Select the Reference* field and enter a list item.

   2. Select the Description* field and enter an item description. This is what the mobile user will see when they access the list item.

   3. Optionally, select the Score field and enter a score for the list item. The score is used by the Score control in a form. For example, if a list itemises tasks and the Score field contains the number of hours of labour required to complete each task, this enables a mobile user to give a quote for a job based on the selected tasks.

   4. Select Confirm.

   The new list item appears in the Edit dialog.

5. To add a sub-item to the new list item:

   1. Select Add .

   2. In the Add dialog, enter the Reference*, Description* and Score as required.

   3. Select Confirm.

      The sub-item appears within the top-level list item. You can add as many hierarchical list items as required.
