Understanding How to Add UDC Types

Add a UDC type when you need to categorize your data using UDCs and when none of the existing UDC types is appropriate. For example, an educational institution might add a UDC type called "Major" to categorize its students by any of the following fields of study:

• LA - Liberal Arts

• MA - Mathematics

• CS - Computer Science

• EN - Engineering

• MD - Medicine

  Note: When you add a UDC type, you also must modify the EnterpriseOne applications that use the UDC type. Because modifying a EnterpriseOne application might require significant effort, whenever possible, you should change an existing UDC type (such as a category code) instead of adding a new UDC type.

  See Changing a UDC Type in this guide and also "Understanding Edit Controls" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Form Design Aid Guide.
