Pick lists allow users to add specific assets, resources, locations, etc. to work orders and requests. In the web they can be displayed in several different ways. If an invalid submission is entered into one of these fields, an error message will appear. The different types of picklists are
Single Dropdown boxes - A single box that shows both the code and description together.
Dual dropdown boxes - One dropdown box for the code and one drop down box for the description. Selecting one automatically selects the other.
Text control boxes - This provides a empty text box for the code and a Picklist button. Enter the code and leave the field to automatically populate the description field, or click the popup button.

Enter %[criteria] to search a field for that criteria occurring anywhere in the field.
