Activating and deactivating lookup list contents

Field-Map Data Collector generally supports lookup lists with many items. Sometimes the lookup list could consist of hundreds of items (e.g., herbs or tree species). In such cases it is inconvenient and time consuming to look through the entire lookup list each time you want to specify a lookup list attribute. The “Edit lookup list” option allows the user to reduce the contents of a lookup list to match particular conditions of the plot, and respectively, to de-activate all items which are not present on the plot. De-activated items are not deleted from the lookup list.
