Use to create and define marker groups.
A marker group is a set of flags that can be applied to elements of a project or a model to organize the developments.
The Marker Group Editor has the following tabs:
| Properties | Definition |
|---|---|
| Group Name | Name of the marker group. This name appears in the user interface. |
| Group Code | Code of the marker group. This code is used to access a marker from the Oracle Data Integrator tools and API. |
| Display Position | Position of the marker relatively to the marked object icon in the tree view. If set to Never, the marker appears only in the Marker tab of the Object Editor, and is not visible in the tree view. |
| Order | Relative position of markers from this group among all markers. The markers with the lowest order value appears first in the lists and the tree view. |
| Attributes | Multi-state marker groups allow several markers from the same group to be applied to the same object. If this check box is unselected, only one marker from this group may be applied at a time to an object. A priority marker group would be monostate.
Auto-increment marker groups do not allow multiples markers on the same object. In addition, when an auto-increment marker is clicked in the tree view, it switches to the next marker from the group. A progress flag would be auto-increment. |
| Properties | Definition |
|---|---|
| Icon | Icon for the marker. Icons are allowed for any marker type. If a marker stores date or a number, the icon should be set to <none>. Markers with no icon do not appear in the tree view. |
| Name | Name of the marker. This name appears in the user interface. |
| Code | Marker code. This code is used to access a marker from the Oracle Data Integrator tools and API. |
| Type | Type of the marker. This field reflects the type of data the marker stores:
Number and dates do not appear in the tree view and can be changed through the Marker tab of the Element Editor. |
| Active | Select this check box to display the marker for this group. Otherwise, it is always hidden. |
| Tooltip | Select this check box to display the tooltip on the marker's icon. |
