Adding an enumeration field

To add a field whose value is supplied by an enumeration, you must specify the enumeration that you want to use. You can select an existing enumeration, or you can create a new one.
Note: The process of adding an enumeration field in Infor Public Sector 8.5.0 and later is simpler than in previous releases. In previous releases you would first use the Schema Manager to add an enumeration. You can now complete the whole process directly from the Page Editor.
  1. In the Page Editor, click Edit and select Data Builder.
    Note: The Data Builder is only available if you're editing a detail page, not a standard page in the Content Manager.
  2. Click Add above the grid.
  3. Specify this information:
    Screen Name
    Specify a name for your code definition field.
    Data Type
    Select Enumeration.
  4. Specify the enumeration that you want to use.
    1. Select the Additional Properties column in the grid and open the popup.
    2. Select Use Existing Enumeration or Create New Enumeration.
    3. If you're using an existing enumeration, select the correct enumeration in the Enumeration Collections tree and click Select.
    4. If you're creating a new enumeration, specify the name and common ID, then specify the enumeration values in the grid. Alternatively, select the Create Y/N (boolean) field check box for a boolean enumeration. Then click Save.
  5. Ensure that the Automatically Assign Control select box is selected.
  6. Click Save.
