Creating a Basic Data Definition

Use basic definitions for designing forms, managers, shells, and other Unifier components.

To create a basic data definition:

  1. Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
  2. In the left Navigator, click Data Structure Setup > Data Definitions > Basic.
  3. Click the New button. The Create New Data Definition window opens.
  4. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the data definition.
    • The name can include alphanumeric characters, spaces, dashes, and underlines.
    • The name will be case-sensitive.
    • The name cannot begin the name with a prefix reserved by Unifier: SYS, UUU, or Picker.
  5. In the Data Type field, specify whether the definition will be a string or integer data type.

    When you specify the data type, uDesigner displays an additional field, Input Type.

    If you choose string for the data type, you will also need to enter the number of characters the user can enter.

  6. In the Input Type field, select the method the user will use to enter the data.
  7. Click OK.
