Changing option lists

Option lists are used throughout CiviCRM to ensure data integrity and to make CiviCRM core functions work. Some of these are not available from the menu system.

How to do it…

The option lists available through the menu system are limited. There is a main screen where you can edit all option lists:

Here there are only a few drop-down options available to edit.

1. Navigate to Administer | Administration Console.

   

2. In System Settings you will see the Option Groups link in the second column. This provides you with the full list. Many of these option lists are generated internally by CiviCRM so you need to be very careful about which ones you alter.
