Configuring the Internal Product Business Component


After you have applied the extension columns to your local database schema, you can add the fields to the business component that will use the columns to store data. In the NREC example, you will be adding fields to the Internal Product business component. Additionally, you need to modify certain properties of the business component to allow users to update records.

The following procedure uses the square feet attribute as an example. To complete the NREC example, you need to add fields for all the attributes listed at the beginning of this section as described in Configuring the House Detail View.

To add fields to the Internal Products business component

  1. In the Object Explorer, expand the Business Component object type.
  2. In the Business Components window, select the Internal Product business component.
  3. Lock the project locally by choosing Tools > Lock Project.
  4. Change the value of the Project property from Product to NREC Configuration.
  5. In the Object Explorer, select the Field object type (child of Business Component).
  6. In the Fields window, right click and enter a record with the following properties:
  7. Field
