Modifying a Data Element

After you have created a data element, you can only modify the data definition source and form label. You cannot change the data element name.

Be aware of the following before you modify a data element:

If you need to change a data element, Oracle recommends that you see where it is used first, as the changes you make can affect business processes in ways you might not expect.
To see where the data element is being used, highlight the data element in the log and click the Usage button in the toolbar. uDesigner displays a list of all business processes and other forms that are currently using the element.

To modify a data element:

Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
In the left Navigator, click Data Structure Setup > Data Elements.
Select the data element and click Open. The Modify Data Element window opens.
Note: Rather than search through the entire list of data elements, you can use the Find feature to narrow your search by the element's name, the data definition it was built on, the form label of the element, or words from the element's description.
Select a new Data Definition Source or enter a new name for the Form Label
Click OK.
