10. Click Save at the bottom of the screen to commit all changes so far. To configure the choice field we just created requires us to edit a SharePoint screen. To do this go back in to the Record Management screen again, open the Record Type which is now called Deals, and scroll to the Product Category choice Field. You should see an Advanced button:
11. This opens a new tab with a SharePoint screen. For any additional settings on Fields in SharePortals they need to be completed on this screen. For this example, scroll down to Additional Column Settings and edit the section Type each choice on a separate line: which is where we add our list of choices to the Field. Enter a few examples e.g Widgets, Stem Bolts, Q-Screw, B-Screw each on a new line as shown below:

13. Click Save to exit back to the SharePortals app settings screen.
14. To change the order in which the fields appear in the left hand pane of the record form select Change Field Order. Make sure you have saved the previous changes first and then return to the Record settings. This operation then takes you to a SharePoint screen. Change the number next to each column and press OK to re-order the fields.
15. Click Navigation in app settings to open this screen:
16. Find Deals in the list of Entities, rename it to Projects as shown below, and click Save to exit the screen and apply the change:
17. Now if we open the same record at the begining of this exercise, we’ll navigate to Projects on the top navigation, click the record we opened, and verify the changes have been made to the Record Type name, Fields, and the choices are available in our new Field Product Category:
