Object and Field Properties

In the Enterprise Data Manager file, you can specify which objects appear on the EDM windows and the order in which they appear. You can also specify the fields displayed in each object and configure properties for each field. You can specify a field’s name, length, order of appearance on the EDM, required data type, whether text can be entered into a field or if it must be selected from a predefined value, whether a field or combination of fields must be unique to the parent object, and whether the value of the field is hidden under certain circumstances. You can also specify whether the format of a field is dependent on the value of a related field (for example, the format of a credit card number field could be dependent on the type of credit card specified).
