Node Data Type Parameters

Setting Description

Assigned Node Set

The node set that contains the nodes that you are referencing for this property

Note:

For basic subtypes, the node set that you are referencing must be in the same application as the node set with the node data type that you are referencing from.

For user subtypes, the node set can be any active node set that uses the User or User Rollup node type class. See Node Data Type Subtypes.

Allowed Node Types

The node types within the node set that contains the nodes that you are referencing for this property

Note:

For user subtypes, the node type must have the User class.

Bottom Level Only

Determines whether to include just bottom level nodes in conjunction with the selection criteria fields listed below.

Selection Criteria Property

List of all properties that are not node data type properties in all of the allowed node types. Used with Selection Criteria Operator and Selection Criteria Value fields to select specific nodes.

Caution:

For the Selection Criteria property, because node data type properties store a reference to a node and not a specific location for the node, if you are referencing a property that contains positional information (such as inheritance or derived default values) and the node that you are referencing from is shared, the system uses the first location that it finds the referenced node in, which may not be the node that you were expecting.

Selection Criteria Operator

Includes Equal and Not Equal. Used with Selection Criteria Property and Selection Criteria Value fields to select specific nodes.

Selection Criteria Value

Enter a text value to use with Selection Property and Operator fields to select specific nodes. Blank values are allowed.

After you select an Assigned Node Set and Allowed Node Types, you can filter the node selection down further by using the Bottom Level Only, Selection Criteria Property, Selection Criteria Operator, and Selection Criteria Value fields. For example, you can specify that an application-level override applies only to bottom level nodes where the intercompany flag is set to true.

Node Data Type Subtypes

For node data type properties, you can specify a subtype that provides additional capabilities. The subtype can be changed at the application level only.

  • Basic: Used to reference nodes from any node type in the current application only. The Assigned Node Set and Allowed Node Types must be from the current application.
  • User: Used to reference nodes with the User or User Rollup node type in any Users application. The Assigned Node Set can be from any Users application, and the Allowed Node Types must be User or User Rollup. See Working with Users Applications.
