Adding enumeration data types

  1. On the dashboard, click Configuration.
  2. Click Enumeration.
  3. Click Add Enumeration Type.
  4. Specify this information:
    Name
    Specify a name for the enumeration type.
    ID
    Specify an ID for the enumeration type. If the ID that you specify is in use, a message is displayed. Specify a different value.
    Data Type
    Select String or Number.
    Description
    Optionally, provide a description of the enumeration type.
    MultiSelect
    If users can select more than one value from the enumeration list when they enrich an entity, select this check box. If users can select only one value from the list, clear this check box.
    Hidden
    To hide this enumeration type, select this check box. For example, if the enumeration type is not complete, you can select this check box to prevent modelers from adding the enumeration type to an entity type.
  5. Use the Values table to build the list of values that users can select when they enrich entities. Click the Add Value button and specify this information:
    Key
    Specify a unique key for the value. If you use the bulk import of attribute values feature, this key is used to identify the enumeration value.
    Value
    Specify the value. This value is displayed in the Entities interface. For example, if you are setting up a Color enumeration type, you could specify Red or Blue as the value. When you specify a value, use the language of the default locale.
    Locale
    To specify a localized value, select the locale from the drop-down list. Then, specify the localized value. If the value is not localized, then leave this field blank.
  6. Click Save.
