If this dialog box appears, select the default management pack, select another unsealed management pack, or create a new management pack.Click the new List Value list item. In the Name box, type a name for the new list item. For example, type Laser Printer. If you want, you can optionally type a description in the Description box.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 and create a new list item with the name Check-Writing Printer, and then click OK.
To validate the addition of a new list item
Select the same list again, click Properties in the Tasks pane, and then verify that the new list item appears.
