After you create a node in the business entity model, you can add fields to the node. The fields correspond to columns in the base object that is associated with the node. For example, you want to add the City field to the Address node. The Address node is associated with the C_ADDRESS base object, which has a CITY_NAME column.
In the tree view, expand the node to which you want to add a field.
For example, expand the Address node.
Under the expanded node, select
Field
.
In the tree view, click
Create
.
In the properties panel, select the base object column to associate with the field from the
Column
list.
For example, select
City_Name
.
You created the base object columns in the MDM Hub.
Enter a field name and a field label name.
For example, enter
City
for the field name and field label name.
Optionally, configure the other field properties. See
Field Properties.
Optionally, configure default values for user roles.
If you also configured a filter with allowed values, the picklist in
Data Director
defaults to this value for the specified user roles.
Beside the
Default Value
heading, click the
Add
icon.
Enter a default value that matches the data type of the field. If you configured filters with allowed values, the default value must match one of the allowed values. When entering dates, use the GMT format, such as
2018-06-06T09:34:25.801-04:00
.
The Provisioning tool does not validate the values. You can test the default values from Data Director.
From the
User Role
list, select user roles.
To select a user role, select the role and then click the
Add
icon.
To select multiple user roles, hold the CTRL key, select the roles, and then click the
Add
icon.
To specify all user roles, select the asterisk (*) and then click the
Add
icon.
To remove a user role, click the
Delete
icon beside the role.
Optionally, to use this default value with the user roles that have no other default values configured for this field, select
Apply this value to the user roles that have no default value assigned
.
To configure more default values, repeat these substeps.
