    • Display description - Displays any description added on entering the SmartList value
    • Auto dropdown - Displays the SmartList dropdown on entering the field
    • Quick lookup - When you enable auto drop list, typing in the field selects the first matching SmartList entry. This is case-sensitive. As you continue to type, the application continues to find the first matching SmartList entry
  5. Entry Options: Select either:
    • Restrict Entry to the list: Restricts fields to only values in the existing SmartList
    • Auto add an entry to the list: This allows you to enter other values not on the SmartList into the selected field. Select from the following:
      • No auto add: You can enter in new values, but they won’t appear in the SmartList later
      • Confirm auto add: This prompts you to either add a new value to the SmartList or not
      • Auto add always: Automatically adds any new value you enter into the selected field to the SmartList
