Define Data to Selection List

You can define and maintain the data of properties of the type »LocalizedText« in multiple languages. To do so, use the Details view of the corresponding node.

WARNING

Changes to the structure of the selection list (adding, deleting or renaming properties) induce the need for synchronization. This ensures the availability of new/added/renamed columns under the node »Data«.

Changes to the structure of the selection list lead to the loss of already keyed-in values in affected columns (renamed or deleted).

To synchronize, select the node »Data« and click on DATA ► Synchronize Properties in the ribbon group »Selection Lists«.

Define selection list nodes for the selection list »TTableKindOfShelf«

  1. Select »Data« under »Selection List 'TTableKindOfShelf'« in »My Local Configuration«.
  2. Click in the »Data Items« view.
  3. In the ribbon, click on DATA ► Synchronize Properties to make the columns available.
  4. In the ribbon, click on DATA ► Define Selection List Node.

    5. Alternative: Right-click in the »Data Items« view ► Define Selection List Node.

  5. Define the details of the selection list nodes in the Details view:
    6. Name Value
    Internal Name Board
    Label (en) Board
    Key Board
    		  »Label« and »Key« are only available after clicking »Synchronize Properties«.
  6. Repeat step 2 to step 4 for the following property:
    7. Name Value
    Internal Name Drawer
    Label (en) Drawer
    Key Drawer

Key

The »Key« is a unique identifier, which is used for

  • SlotContext(TableMainMaterial.Key) = Key
  • referencing and updating master data via Excel import
  • referencing selection list entries in Excel imports & updates

The uniqueness is not guaranteed by FACTON when inserting new master data elements and selection list entries. However, the Excel import & update will fail if there are multiple rows with the same key (duplicates).
