Inserting a List Item During Data Entry
You can add an item to a list while entering data in the System file unless Non-Overrideable is selected for this list in the List Library file. In the Enterprise Edition, you must also have the necessary permissions to add items to lists. For example, only system administrators can add items to lists in the Common Library.
* 
In the Options window, General > Auto add list items controls whether the Add List Item window opens. When this checkbox is selected (default), the window opens. When it is cleared, the window does not open. Instead, the entered text string is inserted as a new list item in the appropriate List Library file. For more information, see General User Options. Periodically, an administrator should review the list items in List Library files. In the Enterprise Edition, this checkbox is a global option set in the Options window in the Administrator application.
1. In the data field that is attached to the list, enter the text string for the new list item.
2. If the Add List Item window opens, complete it and click OK. For more information, see Add List Item Window.
The information is saved in the field in which it was entered as well as in the appropriate List Library file.
