Attribute value range

When you define an attribute, you can restrict the values that can be assigned to it by specifying a range of values that are valid for the attribute. You can provide a list of valid values and ensure that any value that is assigned to that attribute in Asset Management is validated by Attribute Matrix. If you do not specify any restrictions, then the attribute can take any value that is valid for the defined type and size. You can assign valid value ranges in one of these ways:

  • You can manually assign value ranges to each individual attribute as you define it.

  • You can create a non-Lawson file containing multiple valid attribute value ranges for multiple attributes and interface the file to Attribute Matrix.
