Selection-List windows

A Selection-List window lists the possible values for a text box. A down arrow that follows a text box indicates that you can use a selection list to see and select possible values for the text box. When you click the down arrow, the corresponding Selection-List window appears.

The following figure shows the selection list that is available for the Machine Type text box in the Defaults window. After you select an item in the list box, click OK, and the item appears in the text box on the original window.

Tip: If your entry is rejected, look at the selection list. Your entry is invalid if it is not available in the selection list.

Selection-List windows are available for many text boxes throughout the HPL user interface. These windows have various names, but these topics refer to them as selection lists.
