Controlled Vocabularies

Some fields in Colectica allow you to specify controlled vocabularies. A controlled vocabulary is a list of terms from which the value of the field should be chosen. For fields that are configured with a controlled vocabulary, Colectica provides a user interface to choose the value from the configured list of terms.
