To ensure that standard data types such as cadres, marital status, geographical locations and the like are enforced across the system, those standard data types must be created as lists. These lists are used to create selection menus that provide standard options for selection when adding records, jobs and positions. Click Configure System, then Administer Database to create and update standards lists of data for selection in system menus. Only the Data Operations Manager and System Administrator can create data types.
