The picklist builder is a tool that you can use to easily make a picklist. The tool has a graphical interface, which means that it is
not necessary to manually enter most of the source text. After you make the picklist, use
the tool to show the related source text. Then, you can copy the source text and paste it in
the clinical template.
Note: To add a template variable to a picklist, you must use the picklist’s source text
format. You cannot use the picklist builder to add a template variable.
To get access to the picklist builder, select the Picklist Builder
tab of a clinical template:
After you select Picklist Builder, the picklist builder shows
temporary initial content. You can change and remove the initial content.Figure 1. The picklist builder and the temporary initial content

builder and the source text format.
