User Defined Element Types : Create a UDET 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 UDET Group (UDETGR) must be created below a UDET World.

To create a UDET Group, select Create > UDETGR User defined element group from the main menu bar. A UDET element is created and 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 creating a new UDET Group the following attributes in the Current Element Editor must be populated.


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

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