Add a choice list hook

A choice list hook is a way to provide a list of values for users to enter in a field. You can provide a constant list of values, set up a dynamic list, or use a script to generate values. In this exercise, you will add a constant choice list to one of the fields that you added to your schema in the Add fields exercise.

Before you can make changes to the schema, you must check out the schema. If the schema is not checked out:

1. In the Designer, click File > Open Schema.
2. In the Open Schema window, select Checkout a schema to edit or continue editing previously saved work. Select my_sample_schema from the table of schemas. If the schema is checked out, and you are continuing work from a previous editing session, click Finish. If the schema is not checked out, click Next and then click Finish.

To add a choice list to the Doc_Impact field:

1. Expand the Record Types folder and then the Defect folder. To open the Fields grid, double-click Fields.
2. Click in the Choice List column cell of the Doc_Impact row; then click the arrow. Select CONSTANT LIST.
3. In the Choice List window, enter the following choices in the Enumeration Options field:
   • User's Guide
   • Administrator's Guide
   • Reference Manual
   • Online Help
   • Release Notes
   • Other
   • None
   Click OK.
4. Click File > Save Work to close the schema and save your changes without checking in the schema.
