Define Properties for Selection List

The properties of the selection list will be defined in the next steps. It will appear as columns in the »Data Items« view after clicking »Synchronize Properties« in the ribbon.

Define properties for the selection list »TTableKindOfShelf«

  1. Select »Selection List 'TTableKindOfShelf'« in »My Local Configuration«.
  2. Click in the Properties view.
  3. In the ribbon, click on Property to insert a new property.

    Alternative: Right-click in the Properties view ► Property.

  4. Define the details of the property in the Details view:
    5. Name Value
    Internal Name Label
    Type LocalizedText
    Is Semantic Key
  5. Repeat step 2 to step 4 for the following property:
    6. Name Value
    Internal Name Key
    Type Text
    Is Semantic Key

 

Is Semantic Key

The key is a unique identifier. You have to set at least one property of the selection list as semantic key. The semantic key will be used as primary key in the database.

In the UI, the connection between selection lists and the semantic key is used to choose from several different options in a drop-down menu.

Hint

This semantic key can also be referenced in Cost# expressions and in FQL's if certain table shelf kinds or material classifications are needed.
