Add a drop down to your app to allow the Contact Type to be selected. To recap on the steps in the video:

• Create a dashboard, just as you did for contacts, to allow contact types to be entered, updated and deleted
  • Don't forget to link the two views in the dashboard by dragging the UID field from the grid view over the edit form
  • Note: when hiding the UID in the grid view, you can bring up the details of the stream view attribute by double clicking on the column heading
• In the stream Contact Types, create a new view called Contact Type Select, containing just the attribute ContactType
• Bring the contacts dashboard back to the front
• Delete the existing Contact Type edit field
• Open the palette: right click on the edit form and select Open Palette → Labeled Fields
• Drag a Labeled Drop Down Field onto your edit form
• Update the label: set Display Text to Contact Type
• Update the outer area for the field: set the Name to Contact Type
• Open the configuration form for the stream Contact Types: you can find the stream in the repository browser under the application Contacts
• Find your new view (Contact Type Select)
• Drag the view over the field Contact Type

Go into App Mode - you should now be able to select a contact type from the drop down menu.
