Ramon Somoza (asker) Sep 18, 2008:
Thank you Actually I had two years of telecomms at the university (and I also have a degree in computer sciences), so I do know quite a lot about this particular jargon, but you are absolutely right that sometimes it is very difficult to find the correct term, specially when sometimes the term can actually could have several meanings. The reference you give is of course correct in its context, but in this particular case it looks more as if it more oriented towards the preparation of a job card for the pulling of cables, and the job card is generated by a computer application. Thank you for taking the time to provide assistance.
Ken Cox Sep 18, 2008:
comment This is apparently trade jargon, which is typically idiosyncratic and difficult to research with google (i.e. you have to be lucky). The term 'pull list' is used in English in certain contexts, such as at http://contribs.koha.org/extensions.php?category=4 (context: library operations), but it may not be the right term in your context. With terms of this sort, direct personal experience in the subject field in the target language is often necessary.

(Wire/cable) pull-list

As someone already suggested, the last sentence says a lot.
This piece of text is talking about the physical pulling of telecommunication cables (and removing them), like in the ground or in walls etc.
Pulling cables is also done for other kinds of cables as you can see in the links below.

Thank you!
Example sentence:

On the pull-list you can find information which cross-wires need to be pulled or need to be removed

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "When I created the question I was almost groggy from too little sleep, so I simply provided the basic context without further explanation. But your suggestion is right, it indeed refers to the pulling of cables. I also considered Chris' suggestion, but it is not so much a schedule as the list of tasks, so I'll go with your proposal. Thank you very much."

drop-down menu, pop-up menu

Visual option 'window' where selections can be made (sorry, it's been a long day) - link below shows the word in use

Note from asker:
Not in this particular case, as it is actually a printout from an application. Thank you however for your help.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Harry Borsje : Most probably out-of-context - see next sentence

Not necessarily - sentence starts with 'Met deze functie' - most likely referring to a program/application, one showing schematics created by deptartment using program. That's what I thought, anyway.
neutral Ken Cox : with Harry: see the final sentence of the asker's context.

extract, summary list

i believe from a database certain keywords are extract and presented in this list
Note from asker:
In this particular case that is not so, the function provides the possibility to add elements, not to read them from as database. Thank you in any case for your help

schedule, list

I don't think that 'treklijst' is really a specialist term here, more a form of shorthand for 'lijst van te trekken kabels' (CMIIAW!). The last sentence seems to bear this out. So it's 'just' a list of what the engineer needs to do. If you really need to treat it as self-contained term, what about "engineer's schedule", "engineer's job list", or "engineer's action list"?
Note from asker:
You are right about the short-hand for 'lijst van te trekken kabels', but in this particular case it does not look like a schedule, but rather more like a job card. Your help is however greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
