Adding a Field to a Node

Adding a Field to a Node

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.
  1. Click
    Business Entity
    Modeling
    , and then select
    Business Entities
    .
  2. Select the business entity.
  3. In the tree view panel, select
    Fields
    , and then click
    Create
    .
  4. 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.
  5. Enter a field name and a field label name.
    For example, enter
    City
     for the field name and field label name.
  6. Optionally, configure the other field properties. For more information, see Field Properties.
  7. 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.
    1. Beside the
      Default Value
       heading, click the
      Add
       icon.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    4. 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
      .
    5. To configure more default values, repeat these substeps.
  8. Optionally, configure field filters by user role. See Adding Field Filters.
  9. Click
    Apply
    .
    The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
