Defining Your System’s Types and Attributes
The following list is intended as a high-level summary of how to use the Type and Attribute Management utility. It provides a high-level list of what to consider and the order in which each section should be completed for best results. The links within each step navigate you to the appropriate section for more information.
1. Create new subtypes using the Manage Types window.
2. Add attributes to the types and subtypes on the Manage Types window.
3. Add or edit attribute layouts for the types and subtypes on the Manage Types window.
4. Set constraints and default values for the attributes on the Manage Types window.

If an enumerated value list is to be reused by multiple attributes, consider creating a global enumeration to use in an attribute constraint, using the Manage Global Enumerations window.
