Creating a New Enumeration Entry
To add a new entry to the enumeration value list, use the following procedure:
1. Select Edit from the Actions menu for the enumeration information page to enter edit mode.
2. Click the 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. 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. This is a required field.
◦ Description—A description of the entry.
◦ Alias—The name for this type from the previous PTC FlexPLM release. This property is read-only.
4. Click OK to create the new entry, and return to the enumeration information page in edit mode. Click Apply to create the new entry, and refresh the New Entry window to create another new entry.
The new entry is automatically added to the Available for selection table. If the entry is added to a parent enumeration, it is automatically inherited by all subenumerations of that parent enumeration. The inherited entry is added to the Removed from selection list table of the subenumerations.
Customer-specific properties may also be available for the entry. These custom properties can be defined for enumeration entries, allowing additional information to be stored on each entry. For more information, see
Defining Custom Properties for Enumeration Entries.
