4.2.5Drop-Down Lists

Drop Downs allow AccuScan Palm users to create their own Drop-Downlist menus for specific fields. AccuScan Palm gives the user the ability to create these lists either directly on the PDA or from a file on the PC via a HotSync data transfer.

AccuScan Settings [Drop-down]

Allow PC Update

This option allows the user to create drop-down lists on the PC. During HotSync these lists are loaded into the field and overwrite any existing drop-down information saved on the PDA. For this reason, we offer the ability to disable the PC Update option. This gives the user the ability to avoid accidentally overwriting any existing list information created on the PDA.

If you wish to allow list contents to be uploaded from the PC for a particular session and list, this option should be checked. If you wish to prohibit the PDA from getting updated list contents from the PC, simply uncheck this option. Chapter 5 refers to PC Operations in more detail. Please refer to that section for more detail regarding list updates from the PC.

Modify

Select the Modify button to directly edit the list contents on the PDA. We discuss the steps in creating drop-down list items in the following section.

1.Select Modify.
