How to display your ownlist?

In some circumstances you may need to create your personal list when selecting entries for a field instead of displaying all possible entries for this selection screen, e.g. you are only working for a special product group of materials. Your company might have several hundreds of materials, but only a few of them are important for your work. In this case it can be a hassle to find the right entry out of hundreds or thousands of displayed lines. Our tip of the month will show you how to create and manage your "personal list"in an easy way. Read the Tip of the Month...
