EricC Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have a template which will display the information about a specific store (the store address, store hours, directions, etc). All of this information is stored in an external data file. The user simply selects the store from a drop-down list, and the rest of the information gets auto-populated based on their selection. It's great that I can update the external data file whenever a new store is added (or an existing store closes), but ... If I add 3 new stores to my External Data File (for example), I need to log into Marcom, go to the template manager, edit the list and add these three new locations manually. (Otherwise the user doesn't see them). Likewise, if I remove a few stores from the External Data File, I need to remember to remove these two stores (manually) from the drop-down list. Can the data source for the drop-down to be equal to the first column of the XDF? This way, if I upload a new data file, the drop-down list will automatically be updated.

-Lisa- Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'd love to know if this is an option as well. This would save so much time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellasparkles Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 That option is not available yet, but if you use a library list, you can share it across products so that if your XDF is linked to multiple templates, the library will also be updated for all.
