Option Selection List
The option selection list has all the same functionality as the Option Full List except that you can choose which options are included. This is useful to show particular options of a similar function or those which are used together. For how to add objects see the Adding an Object section.
Adding Options
When you first create an Option list you will be shown a blank list with a single blank entry:
To add an option simply start typing the name of the option and GWv4 will provide a list of likely options or click the ‘…’ button and you will be shown a list of all available options. Select the option you want to display and click ‘OK’. This will add the selected option to the list and provide a new blank entry from which to select another option:
Adding Multiple Options
From the option selection list you can add multiple options. Click on the ‘…’ button to bring up the available options, then either click and drag over the options, or use mouse click and either Shift or Ctrl keys to select separate items. Once selected, click ‘OK’ and the items will be added to your selection list:
Locking the List
The selection list may be locked so that no items can be added or removed from the list by clicking on the 
button in the title bar. It is also possible to toggle locking from the context menu (right click).
