Assigning a choice list to a property template

To make a choice list useful, you must assign it to a property template.

About this task

A choice list can be one of two data types: string or integer. The string data type is for choice lists that contain text or that include characters such as numbers, letters, symbols, or spaces. The integer data type is for choice lists that can comprise only positive or negative numbers, such as monetary values.

The choice list data type must match the property template data type. For example, you cannot assign a choice list with an integer data type to a property template with a string data type.

You can assign a choice list when creating a property template within the Create a Property Template wizard, or after creation from the property sheet of the property template.

Procedure

To assign a choice list to a property template:

  1. Access the property template properties in the administration console.
    1. In the domain navigation pane, click the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, click the Data Design > Property Templates folder and click the name of the property template.
  2. In the details pane, click the Properties tab.
  3. Scroll down to view the Choice List field and select the choice list you want to assign to the property template.
