Throughout the system, you will see text boxes with a little downward pointing arrow on the right side . Clicking the down arrow displays a list of choices (in some screens, like Forms and Procedures, the edit list values may be displayed in a picklist.) Clicking on a choice populates the text box with that choice. In some cases, those choices are determined by Bond and are not editable. However, in most cases, the options that appear are determined by you during the MPL process, and can be edited, inactivated, or removed by you through edit list options.

Edit Lists allow you to determine the choices that appear in drop lists (the official name of the text box described above) and picklists with each drop list associated to an edit list. When you add data to an edit list, the associated drop list shows it as a choice when you click the down arrow. Edit list values can be permanently removed or they can be inactivated. You might want to inactivate a Global, Staffing Service, or Branch Specific edit list value if:

• You are not currently using it, but want to preserve the ability to activate it for possible future use.

• You wish to maintain the records in your database that have used the value, but prevent ongoing use.
