Create a Cascading List

Creating a cascading list is an advanced task. It may be easier to understand using the spreadsheet method.

Identify which is the TOP level or PARENT list. This might be a list of manufacturers or product types. In our example it is Quantity in Tens.

Identify which is the BOTTOM level or CHILD list. This is likely to be the product itself. In our example it is Quantity

For cascades with more than 2 lists, create pairs from the bottom up and always enter the child first so that it can be selected from the parent.

Display the list of Lists by selecting Lists from the Setup/Maintenance menu.
Click on the List entries link next to the list you wish to use as the CHILD list. If necessary, create a new list using Adding a List.
Click on Add Item.
Enter the Text that is to appear in the list, eg the quantity number or the part code.
For complicated lists, any additional information is added in the Additional Attributes tabs - this is not essential and is only recommended for advanced users.
Save.
Repeat steps 3-6 for all items in the list.
Return to the list of Lists by click the link Lists.
Click on the List entries link next to the list you wish to use as the PARENT list. If necessary, create a new list using Adding a List.
Click on Add Item.
Enter the Text that is to appear in the list, eg the quantity number or the part code.
