Chapter 4: Field Settings
4.2.5 Drop-Down
Lists
Drop Downs
allow AccuScan Palm users to create their own
Drop-Down
list menus for specific
fields. AccuScan Palm gives the user the ability to create these lists either directly on the PDA or
from a file on the PC via a HotSync data transfer.
AccuScan Settings [Drop-down]
Allow PC Update
This option allows the user to create drop-down lists on the PC. During HotSync these lists are
loaded into the field and overwrite any existing drop-down information saved on the PDA. For
this reason, we offer the ability to disable the PC Update option. This gives the user the ability to
avoid accidentally overwriting any existing list information created on the PDA.
If you wish to allow list contents to be uploaded from the PC for a particular session and list, this
option should be checked. If you wish to prohibit the PDA from getting updated list contents from
the PC, simply uncheck this option.
Chapter 5
refers to PC Operations in more detail. Please
refer to that section for more detail regarding list updates from the PC.
