Defining Attribute Groups (Step 2)

(Short description required.)

1. Click the icon in the Palette and then click in the Repository to add the Attribute Group.
2. Enter a name for the attribute group. You can now add new attributes to the group.

   By default, a repository contains 2 attribute groups Unassiged and System.

   • Unassigned Attribute Group

     This group contains the ID, IDEXT and CONTAINS predefined attributes.

     • ID represents the primary identity attribute of a data record. It maps to the MDM attribute PRODUCTID and it is a unique identifier for each of the records.
     • IDEXT is the secondary identifying attribute for a data record and maps to PRODUCTIDEXT in MDM.
     • CONTAINS maps to the CONTAINS attribute (Related Record) in MDM.
   • System Attribute Group

     This contains system attributes (such as Last Modified On, Last Modified By, Active, Created On, Owner Id, Last Confirmed Version etc) that cannot be seen but are present to maintain version and audit information. If you define any custom system attributes, you will see them when you expand the group.

   • Group Sequence

     The order of attribute groups can be controlled from the Group Sequence tab. Select a repository in the drawing pane and click the Group Sequence tab in the Properties Pane. A list of all attributes groups for that repository is displayed and you can change the order by selecting the group to move and using the up and down buttons.

     

   • Attribute Group Properties

     The General tab displays basic attribute group properties such as the Name and Description.

     

     Note: You can modify the Attribute Group name in the editor by double clicking on the group name and inline editing.
