Working with List Library Files
List Library files allow you to define list items that are used throughout your System file, which ensures that your data is consistent and organized. The sample Project you are using contains a List Library file.
1. In the Project Navigator, click Expand files to display support files.

If this command is not available, click Collapse files and then click Expand files.
|
2. Under Support Files > Setup > List Library, select List Library to open it.
3. In the List Definition table, select the following lists to view their corresponding list choices in the List Choices table: Location, Local Effect, and Manufacturers.
4. When finished, select > .
5. In the Project Navigator, click Collapse files to hide all support files.
As you saw while editing the System file in the My Tablet PC Project, in the Local Effect column in the FMEA Worksheet table, you can select a choice from a list. You can also type an entirely new local effect directly in the cell. In this case, a window opens, asking if you want to add this new item to the List Library file.
You see how using List Library files can ensure that you and all team members use the same wording consistently.
