Combo Box Options

Combo Box Options allows you to customise the dropdown lists used throughout iCFM. Each category corresponds to a specific dropdown in the system - select a category to view and edit its options, or add new ones.

How to use Combo Box Options

1. Go to Menu > Admin Options
2. Open Combo Box Options
3. In the Select a category panel, enter or select a category
4. The Select an item to edit panel will show the current options for that category
5. Click an existing option to edit it, or add a new option in the Add or update an existing item panel on the right
6. Complete the required details in the Add or update an existing item panel and click Save *
7. The new or updated option will appear in the Select an item to edit panel

Adding a new category

If the category you need is not listed:

1. Click the Add New... button underneath the Category box
2. When prompted, enter the new category name and click OK
3. The page will reload with the new category shown, but with no options listed
4. In the Add or update an existing item panel on the right, enter a Description and click Save

A new category is only created once at least one option has been saved to it. If you click OK and leave the page without clicking Save, the category will not be kept.

Please Note: Descriptions can be added to each option, and the Position field can be used to change the order items appear in the dropdown.

* The remaining fields in the third panel vary in purpose depending on the category. Before adding or editing options, we recommend checking the existing defaults in that category to understand the expected format. If you are unsure, contact CETA Support before making changes, as incorrect entries may affect how dropdowns behave in the system.
