Enumerates

LN defines fields of data type Enumerate through these fields:

  • Constant: Number that determines the sequence in which the enum descriptions are displayed. Used for sorting in Birst.
  • Constant Name: Used to refer to an enumerated constant in scripts or expressions on forms and reports in LN. Used for filtering in Birst.
  • Description: Used for display purposes.

For example, Order Status (tisfc001.osta) is an enumerate with these possible values:

Constant Constant Name Description
20 planned Created
30 modify Modify
40 scheduled Scheduled
50 printed Printed
60 in.prod Released
70 active Active
80 to.be.completed Production Completed
90 completed Completed
100 closed Closed
110 archived Archived

Dimensions also contain three fields for each enumerate field, for example:

  • Order Status Sort - mapped to Constant
  • Order Status Filter - mapped to Constant Name
  • Order Status - mapped to Description
