  8. If selecting a List, you must choose whether you want to Create a New List now or link to an Existing List.

     
  9. If selecting a List, check Must Match List if this detail can only contain entries from the list.  If unchecked, associates will be able to pick from the list OR enter any text they want.

  15. After selecting a List, choose one of the Modify options at the top:

     

    Modify for All Categories

    Making changes to the list entries will affect all category details linked to this list.

    Modify List for the Selected Category

    Making changes to the list entries will only affect the selected category.  Other categories will be unaffected.


     
  16. Click Next.  Make any desired changes to the list values and then complete the wizard to create the detail.
