First, make sure that this item will not impact any of your reports. If it does, get Technical Services involved so they can make sure the new values will be counted correctly!
Use the Configuration library, Dropdowns page
There are three tabs:
- System Dropdown tab = System-wide items
-
This includes pages in the Billing, Class, Config, Housing, ORG, Portal, Security Manager, and Services libraries
- Program Dropdown tab = items specific to your module (HMIS, CSBG, General, etc.)
-
For example, items in the HH Members demographics that are different for each module
- Configuration Dropdown tab = critical to system, like reports and page functions, so administrators will not be able to change – contact Technical Services to make changes to these values and they will determine if it can be done!
