Configuring Lists

A List in BillMax is used to store a list of valid values for a particular item of data. A List is broken into two parts, the List Definition and the List itself, i.e. the values in the List.

Upon installation, a standard set of Lists was created.

Most Lists are accessible by clicking the Lists link on the Navigation Bar. The exceptions are the Lists associated with the Customer Interface configuration. Please see "Configuring the Customer Interface".

The List Definition

A List Definition must exist before values may be added to the List. To create a List Definition, click on the List link on the Navigation Bar. The following page will be displayed:
