User-defined attribute sets
It is possible to create user-defined attribute sets for business objects. This feature provides greater flexibility and allows you to specify up to three attribute sets and their related attributes.
To start off, you must create user-defined attribute sets in Field definer .
 | You can convert existing attribute sets that are based on system business objects to the new user-defined business object by changing their type - be aware that this is irreversible! |
Once configured, you can apply the new attribute sets in Assets or in Decision rules.
Procedure
In this procedure, Assets is used as an example.
1. Go to Field definer , select Base assets, set it Under construction and go to Details level > Fields.
2. Set the Attribute set 1-3 field to In use and link it to an Attribute set type.
You can do this for all three Attribute set fields.
Once specified for Base assets, you can fine-tune this for the user-defined assets. At this point, you can indicate which attribute set applies, but you cannot change the attribute set type here.
You are now ready to use user-defined attribute sets in Assets .
| | On the elements panel ( Assets ) you can define a user filter to find relevant attribute sets. Keep in mind that - for reasons of performance - you can only filter on fields within a single attribute set. |
