The following examples illustrate the effects of list item expansion on the display of values in a field's drop-down list box.
These examples use the following values:
[Project]\Business Analysts is a team project group that contains three business analysts users: JayHamlin, PilarAckerman, and ReshmaPatel.
Example1\MyTeam is a group that contains three sub-groups: Development, Test, and Program Management. Each sub-group contains one user: devuser, testuser, pmuser, respectively. The group Example1\MyTeam also contains the user juser.
Example1\MyReports is a group that contains the users userone, usertwo, userthree, and one sub-group, MyRemotes, which contains the users userfour and userfive.
BoolValues is a global list that has two entries, true and false.
Note
Use the literal prefix [Project] instead of using the actual name of the team project.
Example
In this example, the field contains a string value, a group, and a global list. At run time, the list is expanded and groups are filtered out.
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups">
<LISTITEM value = "string" />
<LISTITEM value = "[Project]\Business Analysts" />
<GLOBALLIST value = "BoolValues" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
The drop-down list box for the field shows these values:
string, true, false, JayHamlin, PilarAckerman, ReshmaPatel
Example
In this example, the field contains a string value, two groups, and a global list. At run time, the list is expanded and groups are not filtered out.
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true" >
<LISTITEM value = "string" />
<LISTITEM value = "Example1\juser2"/>
<LISTITEM value = "Example1\MyTeam" />
<GLOBALLIST value = "BoolValues" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
The drop-down list box for the field shows these values: string, true, false, juser, juser2, devuser, testuser, pmuser, Development, Test, and Program Management.
Example
In this example, the field contains a string value, two groups, and a global list. At run time, the list is not expanded and groups are not filtered out. This means that group names are displayed, but not the users within those groups.
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="false">
<LISTITEM value = "string" />
<LISTITEM value = "Example1\MyReports"/>
<LISTITEM value = "Example1\MyTeam" />
<GLOBALLIST value = "BoolValues" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
The drop-down list box for the field shows these values: string, MyTeam, MyReports.
Note
The global list name and contents are not displayed.
Example
In this example, the field contains a string value, one group, and a global list. At run time, the list is expanded and groups are filtered out.
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups">
<LISTITEM value = "string" />
<LISTITEM value = "Example\MyTeam" />
<GLOBALLIST value = "BoolValues" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
The drop-down list box for the field shows this value: string.
Note
MyTeam is a group which is excluded and not expanded, and BoolValues is a global list and so neither one is expanded nor shown.
