# Global List Management

## Facilitate administration of common process data

* Global list management lets authorized users easily create and manage lists of data via the WorkflowGen web administration module for use in different process forms.<br>
* Global data lists can be created manually, imported, or defined via a connection from an existing third-party database. They are then used by the process managers who can bind them in their forms and workflows without programming, regardless of their administration rights.<br>
* Enterprise-relevant data not necessarily managed in an ERP or CRM can enrich company workflows with a decentralized administration to the managers of these data themselves.

## Global list administration

* Create a new list<br>
* Define elements and columns in a list (text, date, and numeric formats)<br>
* Import a list from a file or by copy/paste<br>
* Create a list from an SQL query or a connection string<br>
* Duplicate an existing list<br>
* Refresh lists<br>
* Export a list in XML or CSV format<br>
* Support multilingual data lists

## Global list uses

* Bind a list from a field of combo/list type via the WorkflowGen built-in form designer<br>
* Connect lists<br>
* Sort items in lists<br>
* Link lists with other lists or form fields<br>
* Operate filters: column, comparison operators, filter by field, default filter value if the value is empty
