Feeder tables in ETO can be customized to fit your organization's needs. Feeder tables are used to supply many of the drop-down or select boxes in the software. The elements that comprise these tables can be added or edited at any time. No version of ETO software utilizes all of the feeder tables, so you will only have to populate the ones that your organization will use.

Step 1 – On the Navigation Bar, click Site Administration. Then select Manage Feeder Tables.

Step 2 – A description of a feeder table category can be added/edited by clicking the Desc. link in the Description column next to the category.

Step 3 – Click the Edit link next to any feeder table category to adjust or add items to it.
​

Step 4 – To sequence the items in the category alphabetically, select Alphabetical Order at the top of the page.

 Step 5 – To sequence the items in the category manually, click the Set Sequence Order link.
​

Step 6 – Highlight the item you would like to move, then click the Move Up or Move Down button. When you are done arranging your order, click the Submit New Order button.
​

Step 7 – You can now select Sequence Order at the top of the feed table category page.
​

Step 8 – Click the Edit link next to any individual item in the list to edit it at the bottom of the screen. Click the Edit Item button to submit changes.

Step 9 – Items in feeder table categories can also be disabled when they are no longer needed (as mentioned above). The current status of the item is shown next to it: "Enabled" if it is currently in use, "Disabled" if it is currently turned off. Click the current status to change this.
​

Step 10 – Add new items to the category by typing text in the open box at the bottom of the list and clicking the Add New Item button to submit.
​

Step 11 – Several feeder tables allow individual items to be scoped by program so they will only be available in applicable programs within your site. Click Scope next to each item to adjust this. This is not available for all feeder tables.
​

Step 12 – Check the box next to the program(s) you want the item to appear in. Then click the Submit button at the bottom of the list.

If no programs are selected, the item is assigned to all programs by default.
