Picklist

Building a Picklist (Created using V11.1.7)

Create a New Picklist

• Click the "picklist" button (lower left).
• Name the picklist and click "ok."

  Helpful hint: This name should indicate what the picklist is for, in order to easily identify and attach the picklist to a question in the Additional Information dictionary. For example when creating a picklist of diagnoses (e.g., PE, Hip Fracture) for patients who are taking blood thinners, the picklist could be named "Blood Thinner Indications".

• Ensure that the newly-created picklist name is highlighted; then click "add entry."
• Select items from the left pane individually, making sure to click "add" to move them to the right pane.

  

• Once all items have been added to the picklist, click "ok."

Add an Item to Existing Picklist

• Click the "picklist" button.
• Highlight the desired picklist from the left pane.
• Click "add entry."
• Select items from the left pane individually, making sure to click "add" to move them to the right pane.
• Once all items have been added to the picklist, click "ok."

Rearranging Items Within a Picklist

• Click "picklist."
• Highlight the picklist from the left pane.
• Highlight a row in the right pane and drag to new location among the other items within that picklist.
