When you create a custom field with a list box, this list box is created based on predefined values. Any values belonging together are grouped in an option group. First define the option groups, and then click the Options button to define all possible values.
The application administrator creating the pick list on the Options by custom field form chooses an option group and makes a selection from the available values. If required, the application administrator can select options from different groups.
In addition to a description in the default language, the values can also have descriptions in other languages.
Example
To organize the options, create the groups 'Colors', 'Models' and 'General'. Add the option 'Not applicable' to the group 'General'. This option can be used for several list boxes. Then, when creating a pick list for a custom field, select options from the group 'Colors' or 'Models' and the value 'Not applicable' from the group 'General'.
