What This Screen Does

This list appears to contain college data with three variables:

• name

• description

Each variable has its own values section. The app will likely match values by row position.

For example:

The List Name field currently says:

Colleges

Use this field to rename the list.

Top UK Colleges

Textbox

Use Textbox if you want to enter values manually in separate fields.

Variable Names

The Variable Names field currently contains:

name, rank, description

These are the fields available for each list item.

Rank Values

The Rank - Values box contains the ranking numbers.

Current visible examples include:

1,
2,
3,
4,
5,

Each rank should correspond to the college name on the same row.
