Adding an Attribute to an Entity

Attributes are required in order to store information related to an entity. For example, in the Person entity, the CountryOfBirth attribute is used to store the country of birth for a person. The domain definition for this attribute is COUNTRY_CODE.

An entity will generally have at least one attribute that contains a unique identifier. This is identified by the key attribute. The Person entity contains a key attribute concernRoleID.

To add an attribute to an entity:

1. Select Add Attribute from the right-click context menu for the entity.
2. Select Key or Details as required. This opens the Create Attribute Wizard. Here you can name the attribute and select its type.
