Edit a Repository's Attribute Properties - Precisely_EnterWorks - EnterWorks - 11.0

All repositories based on the same profile have the same attribute definitions. A repository's attribute properties only apply to the repository's attributes. They do not apply to any other repository.

To edit a repository's attribute properties:

1. Log into EnterWorks Classic as a user with administrative privileges.
2. In the Feature bar, open Content, open the desired repository folder, select the desired repository, select Edit, and select Attribute Properties.
3. The Attributes Properties editor will appear. It contains the following settings:
   • Attribute: The name of the attribute.
   • Type: The attribute's data type.
   • Relational: Whether or not the attribute will be included in the snapshot table.
   • Create Index: Whether or not an index for this attribute will be created for the snapshot table.
   • Drill Down Index: Whether or not the attribute will appear as one of the filters in a repository view's Filter list.

     Note that the only repeatable attributes that can be filters are of type VARCHAR. Any record that contains the text will be returned.

   • Default Value: The default value of the attribute.
   • Default Override Ind:
   • Calculation Label: Used for defining a custom action. This is the label that will appear if you hover over the custom action icon.
   • Calculation URL: Used for defining a custom action. When you click this field, a window will appear that has the following fields:

     • Calculation Ind: The action to occur when you click the custom action icon.

       • <none>: No calculation indicator will be displayed. This is the default for any attribute for which no calculations are to be performed.
       • Open as Dialog: The selected JSP/HTML page will be opened as a dialog prompt.
       • No User Interface: The selected JSP/HTML page will be opened in the background. There will not to be any user input fields on the form.
       • Open as Window: The selected JSP/HTML page will be opened in a new window.
       • Hidden Window:  The selected JSP/HTML page will be opened in the background. No pop-up is shown.
       • Control with Window: A pop-up window will appear that has a button for the attribute. Clicking the button triggers the JSP/HTML page. The attribute will not be updated.
       • Control with Hidden Window: A hidden pop-up window will appear that has a button for the attribute. Clicking the button triggers the JSP/HTML page. The attribute will not be updated.
       • Calculated Attribute: The attribute value may be updated by the custom action. This is used for an attribute that is going to be updated by a pop-up page but there is not a button to open the page.
     • Calculation URL: The name of the custom action HTML/JSP file that will be invoked when the custom action button is clicked.
4. When you are finished editing the repository's attribute properties, click Save. Depending on the attribute properties you edited, a status message may appear that states that the snapshot table is being refreshed and that you should check the Job Monitor for a Snapshot History report that will be generated when the snapshot table refresh is complete. Until the snapshot refresh job has completed, the snapshot table may not accurately reflect the contents of the repository.
5. Clear the cache.
