What is the Directory in Lean PlanDo Flow?
Keep the project's lists (suppliers, locations, equipment) as Excel files that forms read from, in the Flow Directory tab.
The Directory is where a project keeps the lists its forms draw on: suppliers, locations, equipment, workers, cost codes. Each list is one Excel file. Upload it once; forms read from it, and a new version is uploaded with Versions, then Upload new Version.
Open it from the Flow menu: Library, Templates, Workflow, Directory. The tab shows only when the feature is on for the project.
A list can be used three ways in a form: as the options of a dropdown, as the column headings of a table, or as the rows a table fills in from a key value. Use a Directory file in a form shows each.
