Setting Up Enumerations

This topic describes how to configure enumerations for policy modeling. An enumeration is a tool for managing lists of potential values for a non-boolean attribute in your policy model. Enumeration are also referred to as value lists.

Note:

Most of the data displayed on the pages within the Policy Modeling menu folder are read-only. In the current release, you do not create or update the definitions such as entity models, metadata models, or enumerations. These definitions are provided for your implementation in the form of delivered seed data. This documentation is provided to describe the visible information related to the policy modeling feature. Only the Metadata Models page contains fields that can be updated.
