List of Values (LOV)

List of values are named lists that hold available options for a form dropdown of Autocomplete or MultiAutocomplete fields. For example if you have a Autocomplete field for weather then all the options for weather are stored under a “Weather Conditions” LOV.

The dropdown options or LOV items can be

  1. global (visible to all)
  2. client specific (visible to anyone in your organization)
  3. or site specific (visible under only the specified site)

Any changes that you make are final and will be available to all the users under your organization.
