10.3 User Defined Lists
10.3.1 Creating a New List Type
DPCTrack2 already comes equipped with many standard lists that may have entries
added to them via the Lists menu or New
buttons found throughout the program.
However, the program also gives you the ability to create your own lists that may be
applied to the user defined variables that you have created. To do this, from the Tools
menu while the Home Screen is open, you must first select “User Defined Lists”, “Edit
List Types”. This will invoke the USER-DEFINED LIST TYPES screen shown in Figure
10.3.
You may enter the name of the new list type into the User Defined List Types field and
click the Save
button. You are limited to 50 characters. Every list type that is entered
through this screen will also become available from the Tools menu under the “User
Defined Lists” option. In this screen you may click the List
button to view all list types
currently entered into the system and if you need to delete a list type that has not been
used, select it from the list, click OK
, then click the Delete button. The list and all of its
entries will be removed from the system. If however, entries from the list type have
already been used elsewhere in the program, you will not be allowed to delete it.

10.3.2 Creating List Entries for New List Types
Once you have created new list types, you will need to populate them with entries. To do
this, select “User Defined Lists” from the Tools menu and choose the name of the list
type you would like to make entries for. When you choose a list type from the menu, the
screen will look exactly like that in Figure 10.4 except for its title, which will match the
name of the list type selected.
Figure 10.4
Figure 10.4 above, shows the screen for a new list type called “Yes/No”. It works in the
same way as the USER DEFINED LIST TYPES screen. You may enter the name of the
new entry into the field and click the Save
button. You can enter up to 50 characters in
the field. You may click the List
button to view all entries that have been added for the
list type and if you need to delete an entry that has not been used, select it from the list,
