Adding a new data list entry

New entries for drop-downs can be added by typing directly into the drop-down when adding or updating a record. You will be prompted to add the new entry when you move off the drop-down. Some drop-downs cannot be added to, such as the Sex drop-down on the Pet tab of the Customers and Pets form. Also some drop-downs require additional data, such as the Pet Breed drop-down. These must be added using the Data Lists form. Follow these steps to add a new data list entry in the Data Lists form:

1. Open the Data Lists form if it is not already open.
2. Select the list type required in the “List Type” data list.
3. Click the New button in the PetLinx ribbon.
4. Enter all required information.
5. Click the Save button in the PetLinx ribbon.
