Types for Attributes and Custom Requirements Properties

The Date type supports date values.

The List type supports single select or multi-select lists. It has the following controls:

New Item: Allows you to create entries in the list. Click to show the New Item dialog box. Enter the Name and Numeric Weight for the list item and click OK.
Note: The value of the Numeric Weight field is used during filtering when the filter criteria uses any of the following operators: >, >=, <, or <=. When the filter criteria uses the = or not operators, the value from the Name field is used for comparisons.
Order: Use the fields in this column to sort your attributes.
Allow multi-select: Click this check box to allow users to select more than one values from the list.
Note: You can update an existing single-select list to be a multi-select list. A multi-select list cannot be changed to being a single-select list though.
Actions: Use the icons in this row to delete or to edit each item in the list.

The Global List type allows you to reuse items from a centrally managed List of Values. A global list lets you maintain a set of items in a single place and use them in multiple projects. These items can be managed (added, removed, or modified) on the List Of Values Configuration Page. All changes on the List Of Values Configuration Page affect all related Global List attributes and custom properties in all projects.

Allow multi-select: Check this check box to allow users to select more than one item from the list.

Note: You can turn a single-select list into a multi-select list. But you can not turn a multi-select list into a single-select list.

Note: When you disable a value from a List Of Values, the corresponding Global List item remains where it is already used but does not appear any longer in the choice of items in Edit operations.

A List of Values can be grouped by another List of Values (the grouping is optional). In such a case, the attributes or custom properties are connected to each other. They are added, edited, and removed coherently. This means ...

If you add one value, you need to add the other value too.
If you edit one value, you need to edit the other value too.
If you remove one value, you need to remove the other value too.

The User List type supports single-select or multi-select user lists.

The Number type supports integer or decimal numeric values. It has the following fields:

Minimum value: represents the smallest value that you can enter into the field.
Maximum value: represents the largest value that you can enter into the field.
Decimal places: used to define how many values to the right of the decimal point are valid. Select 0 for an integer value or 1, 2, 3, or 4 for a decimal value.

Note: Attributes and custom requirement properties display their current value if an update is made to their definition (for example, changes to Minimum value or Maximum value). To apply the new definition, open and save the asset.

The Text type supports any alphanumeric value. It has the following fields:

Maximum length: represents the maximum number of characters that can be entered into the field. Enter 0 or leave this field empty for unrestricted length (for requirement properties only).
