If you use multiple languages, you must enter the text in the Value and Tooltip fields in each language that your firm uses. To do this, log in to Vantagepoint in each language and then enter the text in the fields, using the language that you selected at login.

Field Description
Value Enter the items to include in the field's drop-down list. The items in the list display in the order in which you enter them in this column.

To reorder the items, hover over a row in the grid, click at the beginning of the row, and then move the row up or down.

To delete a value from the list, hover over the row in the grid, and click X at the end of the row. The value is deleted from the drop-down list for the field going forward. If the value was previously selected and saved in the field for a timesheet record or calendar entry, that existing value is not automatically deleted from the field for the record.

Default Select this check box for any value that you want to prefill in the drop-down list by default. Users can change the entry in the prefilled field when they enter a record.
+ Add Value Click this option to add a new row to the grid.
Limit Entry to Values List Select this check box to require that users select only from the drop-down list in the field. Users will not be allowed to type an entry in the field. Clear this check box if you want to allow users to enter in this field a value that is not specified in the drop-down list.
Tooltip Enter the text that you want users to view when they click beside the field. For example, you may want to enter more specific instructions or information about what to enter in the field.
