Creating Characteristics from the Network Integrity Specification Editor
To create characteristics from the Specification editor:
-
On the Specification editor Characteristics tab for a Network Integrity specification, right-click the data tree area and select Add Characteristic.
The Create and Add Characteristic dialog box appears.
-
Do the following:
-
From the Primitive Type list, select the data type for the characteristic.
Depending on the data type you select, some fields may not appear.
-
In the Name field, enter the name for the characteristic.
-
In the Display Name field, enter the display name for the characteristic.
The display name is the name of the input field in the Network Integrity UI.
-
In the Multiplicity field, specify whether the characteristic is required.
Do not select Range.
-
In the Length area, use the Maximum and Minimum fields to specify the length for string data types. Select the Unbounded check box to not set an explicit maximum value.
-
(Optional) In the Default field, enter a default value.
-
-
Click Finish.
Design Studio creates the data element in the data schema as a characteristic and adds the new characteristic to the Specification editor Characteristics tab.
-
Configure the characteristic.
