Adding an Enumerated Value List — New Enumeration For This Attribute
With the New enumeration for this attribute option, you create an entirely new enumeration for use on this attribute only.
* 
If the subset of legal values used for this constraint is likely to be reused for constraining other attributes, consider creating a global subenumeration, and then using the Use existing global enumeration option instead. For more information, see Managing Global Enumerations.
To create a new enumeration for this attribute, use the following procedure:
1. Click the new enumeration icon .
The New Enumeration window opens. The name of the type and attribute on which you are creating the Enumerated Value List constraint are displayed at the top of the window. The New Enumeration window contains two tables:
◦ Available for selection—These entries are available for selection when the value list is used by an attribute.
◦ Removed from selection list—These entries are still in the list, but are hidden from the user interface, and are not selectable when the value list is used by an attribute. If an entry that is removed from the selection list is already in use in the system, that instance of the entry remains unchanged, but the entry is no longer available for selection for that attribute when creating or editing an object.
* 
Rather than using the delete entry icon, it is recommended to remove the items from the selection list instead. This retains the data already entered in the system and reduces potential errors.
2. Add entries to the enumeration by clicking the create new entry icon on the Available for selection table.
The New Entry window opens.
3. Enter the following information:
◦ Internal Name—The internal name of the entry. This value must be unique within the system. This is a required field.
◦ Display Name—The display name of the entry as it appears when the value list is used by an attribute.
◦ Alias—(Value present for upgraded PTC FlexPLM systems only) The name for this entry from the previous PTC FlexPLM release. This property is read-only.
◦ Description—A description of the entry.
◦ Icon—Does not apply for PTC FlexPLM.
◦ Color (Hex)—(This property applies only when the FlexPLM Attribute Type property is set to Color Choice). The hexadecimal code for the color entry. Complete this field if you want the system to display that color when viewing the attribute. The value must be a six-digit value, representing a standard hexadecimal color number, such as FFFFFF for white, or 000000 for black. You do not need to include the pound sign when entering the hexadecimal color code.
◦ Days—(This property applies only for the Change Tracking Since attribute on the Common Attribute Lists type.) The number of days appearing in the Show Changes Since menu in the header. For more information, see Change Tracking Attributes and Business Objects.
◦ HighlightColor—(This property applies only for the Criticality attribute on the Measurements POM type.) The color used to highlight points of measure, depending on the level of criticality. For more information, see Measurement Types and Attributes.
The following properties are specific to PTC FlexPLM attribute type enumeration entries:
Click OK.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each new entry. Once created, entries can be moved between the tables using drag-and-drop.
5. Choose whether to Manually order entries using drag-and-drop or Automatically sort entries.
6. Click OK.
