Creating Field Objects
To create a Field object, perform the following actions:
- Go to Configuration > System > Configuration Manager.
- Click Fields. The Fields list displays.
- Click the New button.
- Enter the following information. For some fields, you can either enter the name of a value or click the
Browse button to select a value from a list:
- Name—The name of the Field.
- Description—A brief description of the Field.
- Data Type—The data type for the data stored in this Field.
- Length—(Required for char and varchar data types only) The length of the Field
in the database.
- Field Type—Outbound business-specific information for this Field.
- Default—The default value for the Field. All formats that include the Field use this default value. The value
should be consistent with the data type of the Field. For example, if the data type is integer, the default value should be an integer value
only. When Genesys Administrator Extension imports records from an ASCII file in which a Field is missing or has no value,
Genesys Administrator Extension populates the Field with this default value—if the check box Nullable is not checked.
If the Field is nullable, Genesys Administrator Extension accepts a blank value.
- Primary Key—This check box indicates whether the Field is a primary key in a database table. In Outbound Contact,
the only primary key Fields are chain_id and chain_n.
- Unique—This check box indicates whether the Field value is unique within the table.
- Nullable—The checkbox indicates whether the Field value can be set to NULL.
- Tenant—In a multi-tenant environment, the Tenant to which this object
belongs. This value is automatically set to the Tenant that was specified in the Tenant Directory field in the object list.
- State Enabled—If selected, indicates that the object is in regular
operating condition and can be used without any restrictions.
- Click the Save button.
