- In Site URL give URL of the site where Continent, Country and City list is part of. And then click on Load Lists.
- As a list name select Continent
- As column of the value select Title.
- As column for the text select Title.
- Column to join to parent can be null. Because there is Parent for the column.
- Select column to filter as title.
- As an operator choose Show All. We want to display all continent names.
MyCountry column
Points to be noted - Parent name is MyContinent. This column got created previously.
- Child name is MyCity. This column will get created next.
- Column to join parent is Continent because this column is holding value for Continent in Countries list.
