List properties screen

Each list type has a screen where you define the entries for the list. Each screen contains the following fields:

Description

Enter a description of the list type. If you do not enter a description, Unica Marketing Operations provides a default description.

Display

Select Code-Name or Name-Code from the drop-down list to specify whether you want your list options to display by code number followed by name, or by name followed by code number.

Storage Location

Displays the name of the database table where the values for this list are stored.

New or Selected Item

Enter the name and code of the list option. For example, you might call the first option you create for the Business Area Travel and assign a code of 01 to it. The code must be unique.

You must click Accept to add the list option. It appears in the List Items field when you do so.

List Items

This field is populated with any list options already created. Select one or more items in this field and click the Enable, Disable, or Remove button to the right of this field.

This screen also contains buttons for enabling, disabling, and removing list entries:

Disable

Click if you want to keep the list option (for possible future use, for example), but do not want it to appear on a list. The item will be grayed out in the List Items field, but will not appear in one of the area's drop-down lists.

If you create a list definition, use it, and later disable it, the list definition is still in use for the object you chose it for, but is unavailable for future use. For example, if you create cost category 001 and select it for an invoice line item, but later disable cost category 001, it will no longer appear as a cost category option for use in future invoice line items.

Enable

Click if you want the definition to appear as an option in the drop-down list. You can enable a previously disabled option. Enabled options are in regular font.

By default, newly created options are enabled.

Remove

Click if you want to remove a selected option from the List Items field and from the drop-down list. An option that is being used in a workflow cannot be removed.
