Drop Down access for Administrators

Status:

by on

This came from a question - How to add a new item to an existing drop-down list?

It would be sensible to allow an option where ACT administrators can change the drop down list without having to go to Tools - Define Fields which means it throws everyone of the database or has to be done out of hours.

Simply allow an ACT administrator access to the dropdown list even when do not allow editing is ticked in the Define Fields area without having to go to define fields.

If doing that, an option for database Managers as well...

Hi Mike

Makes sense if it is an option that can be enabled.

Agreed.

Careful Mike

You will have me asking for Activity/Diary/Task List to be able to be shared by teams next.

We have a tool for that! It's called "Edit Picklists" was created to Tom Davis back in '09, and still works with the latest Act! v19.
Edit Picklists allows admins to modify dropdowns (where the edit list option is off) without needing to lock down the database.
