Values in dynamic value lists (DVL)

You can create and manage configuration-managed (CM) value records and define the CM values that are included in a dynamic value list (DVL). A dynamic value list is a group of CM values that share the same type value.

The CM values that you add to a dynamic value list become the predefined and selectable values for field lookups. The selectable field lookup values are filtered according to the CM value types. The name of the CM value type typically identifies the field name for which the dynamic value list applies.

For example, a dynamic value list with a CM value type of SYMPTOMS contains a list of values that can help you to define the Symptom field value on an event record. You can track symptoms of events for an asset. You can track these symptoms of events according to the detailed information that is on the CM value record that you selected from the dynamic value list.

The CM value records that you create in the DVL Setup (CM) application can also include the following information that relates to the defined CM value type:

CM value findings

The information about the CM position code of a configuration management or label system. The CM value findings can also include the information about the zone, condition, and the disruption index for the CM position.

CM value applicability

The information about the series, or the model group and the specific model within a series. The selectable series and model values are filtered according to the selected CM position value. The CM value applicability can also include the information about the variation, build item, and CM item for the selected model.
