Viewing and Editing Enumerations
The enumeration information page allows you to view and edit the enumeration properties, as well as manage the entries in the enumerations value list. Any changes made to a global enumeration are automatically propagated to any instances of that global enumeration in use within the system.
The enumeration properties include:
• Internal Name—The internal name of the enumeration. This value must be unique within the system.
• Display Name—The name of the enumeration as displayed in the tree structure.
• Description—An optional description of the enumeration.
• Owning Organization—The organization in which the enumeration was created, based on where the Type and Attribute Management utility was launched. If the Type and Attribute Management utility was launched from > , then the property value is Site; if the Type and Attribute Management utility was launched from > , then the property value is the name of the launching organization. This property is viewable, but cannot be edited.
• Domain—The domain in which the enumeration resides. This field is applicable only for PTC FlexPLM or Windchill PartsLink systems. All other systems should leave this property unchanged.
| Create enumerations only within the site context system domain or a subdomain of the system. |
Actions
The following actions are available from the Actions menu for the enumerations:
• Edit—Displays the information page in edit mode, allowing you to edit certain properties. Click Done to save your edits and return to view mode. Click Save to save your edits, but remain in edit mode.
• Delete—Deletes the enumeration.
Entries Tab
The Entries tab on the enumeration information page allows you to view and manage the entries in the value list for the enumeration.
The Entries tab 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.
Entries can be moved between the tables using drag-and-drop while in edit mode.
You can edit the enumeration in the following ways:
• Choose how the entries are ordered in the value list by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
◦ Manually order entries using drag-and-drop.
◦ Automatically sort entries.
• Move entries between the Available for selection and Removed from selection list tables using drag-and-drop.
