To edit the "Animal Type" field in a system where the store only has two types of pets—cats and dogs—and ensure that users can only select "Cat" or "Dog" as the entry for this field, you can follow these steps. The steps assume you're editing a digital form or database:
Step 1: Access the Form or Database
- Log into the system where the form or database is hosted.
- Navigate to the form or database where the "Animal Type" field is located.
Step 2: Edit the Field Properties
- Find the "Animal Type" field in the form or database.
- Access the field properties or settings. This option is usually available by right-clicking on the field or selecting an edit option.
Step 3: Change Field Type to a Dropdown List or Radio Buttons
- Change the field type to a dropdown list or radio buttons, depending on what your system supports. These field types restrict user input to predefined options.
- In the field settings, remove any existing options other than "Cat" or "Dog."
Step 4: Add "Cat" and "Dog" as the Only Options
- Add "Cat" as the first option.
- Add "Dog" as the second option.
- Ensure these are the only two options available in the dropdown list or radio button choices.
Step 5: Set Field Validation (Optional)
- If the system allows, set validation rules to ensure that only "Cat" or "Dog" can be entered or selected.
- This step is optional but recommended for additional data integrity.
Step 6: Save Changes and Test
- Save the changes made to the field.
- Test the field by trying to enter or select a value. Ensure that only "Cat" or "Dog" can be chosen and that the field does not accept any other type of entry.
Step 7: Update and Inform Users (if necessary)
- If other users will be using this form or database, inform them about the change.
- Provide instructions or guidance on how to use the updated "Animal Type" field.
By following these steps, you'll ensure that the "Animal Type" field in your store's system is restricted to only allow the selection or entry of "Cat" or "Dog," aligning with the store's available pet types.
