Summary
=======
The Values module is an interface for managing reusable sets of value-label
pairs. The purpose is to allow lists of values to be reused across the
website, without having the configure them in multiple locations.

As a functional example, this module includes the Values Field module, which allows the
admin to assign a reusable value set to a field, instead of using the
allowed values. This way, if you have a form that have, say, multiple Yes/No
fields, you only have to configure it once, and then select it from the Values
list for each field.

To Use
======
To use this module, go into the Values administration page, at
admin/content/values, and you will see a table with the currently configured
value sets.

To add a new value set, click on Add and fill out the information. You will be
able to define the value-label pair for each option.

Dependencies
============
This module can be used by itself. However, exporting capabilities are provided
by enabling the Chaos tools suite module (ctools). In order to import ctools
exports, users must have the "Use CTools importer" trusted permission.

To do
=====
For the Values Field sub-module, implement a database update routine that will
update the stored value whenever you edit the value set information.
