Assigning Packages to Entity or Relationship Types

After you create a profile, and a package for each of the entity/relationship types in a profile, you must assign the packages to an entity or relationship type. This defines what fields are displayed when an entity is displayed in Hierarchy Manager. You can also assign a package for relationship types and entity types.

To assign a package to an entity/relationship type:

Acquire a write lock.

In the Hierarchies tool, select the Entity/Relationship Type.

The Hierarchy Manager displays the properties for the Package for that type if they exist, or the same properties pane with empty fields. When you make the display and Put package selections, the Hierarchy Manager package column information is displayed in the lower panel.

The numbers in the cells define the sequence in which the attributes are displayed.

Configure the package for your entity or relationship type.

Label	Columns used to display the label of the entity/relationship you are viewing in the Hierarchy Manager graphical console.

In the Edit Pattern dialog, enter a new label or double-click a column to use it in a pattern.
