Select lists allow users to select a value from a list for specific properties when creating drawings, filters, and symbols. For example, you can use select lists to

  • Show applicable properties for equipment

  • List available units of measure for a property

  • Show available signal lines

When you define properties in Data Dictionary Manager, you can specify whether you want users to select property values from a select list or type the value directly into the Properties window.

Some select lists have dependent lists, which provide further descriptions for items in the original select lists. The range of values that you see in the Properties window is limited to values defined for a dependent list, if one is specified for the given property. For example, the Smart Electrical select list Electrical Equipment Type is dependent on Electrical Equipment Subclass, which is in turn dependent on Electrical Equipment Class. Because motors belong to the Electrical Equipment Subclass: Motor and to Electrical Equipment Class: Electrical Equipment, the available values in the Electrical Equipment Type select list, such as Squirrel Cage, apply only to motors and do not appear in lists for other electrical equipment subclasses.

A column in the enumerations table determines whether you can add new entries to an existing select list. When the value in the DisplayUsage column is 1, you can modify only the text of existing entries. When the DisplayUsage column value is NULL, you have full access to edit or modify the select list.

It is strongly recommended that you do not edit the names of delivered select lists.
