Adding a Custom Data Type to a Field

You can associate custom data types with business entity fields. When you associate a custom data type with a field, you enter the location of the resource where your custom data types are defined. For example, you might want to associate a FileAttachment or ImageURL data type with a field for the Person business entity.

In the tree view, expand the node to which you want to add a field.

For example, you expand the

Person

node.

Under the expanded node, select

Fields

In the tree view, click

Create

The

New Field

form appear in the node properties panel.

In the

New Field

form, enter a field name and a field label name.

For example, enter

Picture

for an image, or

Document

for an attachment as the field name and field label name.

Select the URI where your custom data types are defined.

Select a custom data type.

The custom data types are created in the namespace before you add a data type to a field.

To associate the field with a base object column, select a base object column.

The base object column is created in the MDM Hub before you add a field to a node.

Optionally, select the

Read only

Searchable

, and

Filter

check boxes based on your requirement.

If you select

Searchable

, additional search properties appear. For information about the search properties, see the chapter about search in the

Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
