How To Use The External List Page

You can now choose to display certain elements on your screen by selecting on the top left corner the number of elements you wish to be seen (see picture below). This setting will be automatically saved for the next time you will log in.

For instance, you can choose to display 10 elements on your page by clicking the scroll bar and put “10”.  Feel free to put any number of lists you want to be seen: 25, 50 or even 100 external lists.

By clicking on My lists, Other lists available and/or Library, you will display all the external lists that have at least one or several of these filters.

• My lists : this filter displays all the lists you can access and edit.
• Other lists available: this filter displays the lists that you can use in your forms but that you are not allowed to edit because your are not the owner.
• Library: this filter displays the lists shared by group managers and administrator in the external list Library of the company account.

You can also sort the display by clicking directly on the heading or on the name of the owner.

To find a specific list, simply enter the name of your form, the name of your owner or the name of your heading in the Search bar that is on the top right corner of your screen.

Click on « Delete unused lists » to delete the external lists that are not linked to a form.

Click on the blue arrow to display advanced features of your external list.

• By clicking on « Owner », you can define who is the owner of your external list. This allows the group manager of this list to use and modify it.

• By clicking on « History », you will display all the previous changes made on your external list.

Note: You will not be able to see the changes made.

• Click on « Share » to add your external list to your Library of external lists.

A shared external list allows the group managers to use or copy this external list, that can be accessed from the Library.

For a group manager:
– Using an external list give the option to add this list to other available lists, but only the owner will be able to modify it. If the owner does modify it, it will automatically make the modification on the one that is in his account.
– Copying an external list give the option to use and modify this list. However, if the owner modify this original list that you have copied, the changes made won’t appear on your copy.

• Clicking on « Delete » will delete the list from your account.

Note: You will also find these options on the main editing screen while you are modifying your external list.

• First, let’s log into your Kizeo Forms account from www.kizeoforms.com
• Second, go to the left side of your screen and click the External lists tab > My external list.
• Click on the Heading button on the top right corner of your screen.

• By clicking on the pen icon on the left, you will be able to re-name your heading.

• By clicking on the number of lists, you can directly display the external lists that are part of this heading.

• Enter the name of your heading in the Search bar on the top right corner of your screen in order to find the heading you’d like.

The same way you create your list from scratch, you can modify manually an existing list.

From the Excel Tab, you have 2 options to modify your external list:

• The first one is to download an empty Excel template that will be already filled with the proper header (level_label, label and ref, etc.)
  For instance, if you have a hierarchical list, your header will start with level_label.

• The second one is with your existing external list. This can be convenient if several modifications must be made inside a long list.

• Then click on the Excel button and then Click or drop your Excel files here (.xlsx) to insert your template.

Once your list is imported, you have two options:

• Overwrite everything: this will substitute all your list with the new content imported.

• Change and Add : this option will automatically detect the elements that are similar with those of the original list (and will keep them) and detect the elements that have been changed (and only change those). If there is new elements in your lists, those will be added.

Tip: To make the modification of your lists easier, we highly recommend you to always add a code to the labels (and level_label) of your external list. This will allow you to modify a label.

• Then click on the Confirm the changes and go back to Edit button in order to save the modification.
