Add new system lists

You can add new system lists from either System List view in the following ways:

  • Individually, and specify their properties at the same time

  • Quickly as a list, and then specify their properties later

You can also use the Auto Generate System List option to add new system lists from data that is already in the system. This option creates system lists from standard text fields, by adding all entries recorded in that field to the list as list items.

When you create new system lists, you can sort the list items in different ways, as described in this table.

Display order How to set
Alphabetically Set the display order value for all list items to zero (0). IRIS Cascade lists items numerically first, and then alphabetically.
Numerically Set the display order value for all list items to zero (0) and make sure the name of each item starts with a number.
Manually

Type the appropriate display order number for each list item, bearing in mind that:

  • IRIS Cascade reads zero (0) as the first number

  • Any items set as Built In are displayed first
