User Defined Attributes : Create a UDA Group

If multiple elements of a similar type are to be created in the dictionary database then groups can be used to simplify navigation of the database hierarchy.

A UDA Group (UGRO) must be created below a UDA World. To create a UDA Group select Create > UGroup: User defined attribute group from the main menu bar. A UGRO element is created and is displayed in the Dictionary Explorer.

Note:

When a new element is created in the database hierarchy using the Dictionary Explorer the Current Element Editor will automatically update to display the attributes for that element, these will initially be empty.

After the creation of a new UGRO Group, the following attributes in the Current Element Editor must be populated:


Name	Enter a valid name for the UDA Group in the text box. Special characters are not allowed.
Description	Enter a brief description of the UDA Group element.

The Dictionary Explorer will automatically update to show the specified name for the element.
