Tracefield universal drop down list

Good morning,

I am using Tracefields for programs, for operators to input 3 bits of information before every program. Work order #, Serial #, and Operator name.

For the Operator Name section, I am wanting to use a drop down menu, with a list of names to select, so that the user will have to select their name instead of having them type it.
What i'm not sure about though, is if I create this list, and use it on every program we use, how can I make this a sort of "universal" list? So as we get new employees and new operators, I can add their name into the list and it will update for all of our programs.

I'm still a bit new to using expressions and VBS, and have not been able to come up with a way to do this.

Any help

  • I had thought of using a Form, but didn't like that I would have to manually create the entire form myself. Given enough time and research I know I could do it, it just seems like a hassle to me, and I chose the trace fields because they are easier to code in and I can easily pull the info from inputs to the report header. Also I think the tracefield windows look a lot nicer than any form I would create.
