Enum Value Description This box shows a description of this item in the enumerated list. You can enter a description of any length. If you include it on the user interface, it will appear in a description box that changes size based on the length of the text. Note that you cannot print this field on reports. This is the description that will appear in the user interface, either in drop down boxes or as radio button text. You need to create a new enum value for each item in your list. For example, if you were creating an enumerated type for the days of the week, the enumerated values would include the following: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday etc. See Also Enum Value Name The name that the C++ code will use to refer to this enum value. APM automatically enters a name based on the text you enter in the Description field, but you can change it if necessary. See Also Enum Value The values for this item in the enumerated list. The value is usually the same number as the value sequence. See Also Enum Value Sequence You can use this field to establish the sequence in which you want the enum values to appear in the user interface. For example, if you were entering enum values for days of the week, you can set the sequence to display the days of the week in order. If this field is included on a multi-column list box, any sorts created for this column will be based on the sequence number, not the alphabetical order of the items. For example, say you have items for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and the sort sequence is Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, and Wednesday = 3. Selecting Sort Ascending on this column will list items according to the sort sequence order (1 at the top, 3 at the bottom), regardless of the alphabetical order of the items' descriptions.
