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.

Click

Business Entity

Modeling

, and then select

Business Entities

Select the business entity.

In the tree view panel, select

Fields

, and then 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. For more information, 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.

Optionally, configure field filters by user role. See Adding Field Filters.

Click

Apply

The changes are saved but are not published to the MDM Hub.
