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.
◦ Description—A description of the entry.
◦ Icon—The full path (relative to the codebase) to the icon image file that represents the enumeration entry. (Applicable to Windchill Product Analytics Process Adapter only)

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.
