Service Bulletin FWDN20-20040720
Topics List statistics not visible
Fieldworks 2.0: Data Notebook 2.0
Problem: You cannot see the statistics for a Topics List in the Statistics dialog
Explanation: This happens only if the list has a name that alphabetically sorts before "choose."
Normally you will never see this since none of the existing lists are in this range. However, this will be a problem when you
- start with a blank Anthropology list instead of using an OCM code (the list is named "Anthropology Categories"), or
- create a custom list and name it alphabetically before "choose."
Note: Case is ignored in sorting.
Solution: To see statistics for any list like this, temporarily change the name of the list to something that sorts after "choose."
