Defining a Complex Drop-down Menu

To simplify this task it will be presented through an example. For the sake of the example we will assume that 
you have a leading field called Office Name and two fields connected to it: Office Address and Office Fax.

Select the field.

Select 

Dropdown Menu

 in the 

 list; to the right of the 

 appear a drop-down icon and 

two new buttons: 

Add List

 and 

List Management

.

Click 

List Management

; the 

dialog box appears.

Click 

Add Table

; the 

 dialog box opens.

Type the table name (Office) and click 

OK

.

Create the primary column:

Select the name of the leading field (Office Name) in the list.

Type the first value in the empty text field (New York).

Click 

Add Row

; another row is added to this column.

Type another value (London), continue adding rows and values as necessary.

Select the radio button above the Office Name column to indicate that this is the 

 

(leading field).

Create connected fields:

Click 

Add Column

; another column is added to the table. The new column has the same number of 

rows as the primary column.

Select the name of a field to be changed based on the value of the primary column in the list (Office 

Address in our example), and type the values for this field for each of the values in the primary 
column.

Add a column for another connected field (Office Fax).

Click 

OK

 to save the table and close the window.

The instructions below are for creating the table manually. You can also import a table that you 
have created in Excel.

You will be creating several columns of values, each column connected to one field. Generally, 
you can create the columns in any sequence you wish, and then define which of these columns is 
the primary (leading) field. It is, however, more convenient to start with the leading field and then 
add the fields depending on it.
