Using the Identifier Selector Wizard

Topics:

The Identifier Selector Wizard opens when you click the Reference Value for the field with the Identifier data type in the Instance or Master model table. This is a one-to-one relationship of current subjects.

The Identifier Selector Wizard consists of only one screen. The following elements appear:

Editing a Reference Value For an Identifier Data Type

The Reference Data Selector can be used in the following methods:

  • Setting a new reference value
  • Changing an existing reference value

When you click on a selected Reference Value, the Reference Data Selector Wizard appears. On the first page of the wizard, you can change the current reference data that is selected. Or, you can leave the current selection and move to the next page where you can edit or change any of the previously chosen fields and parent nodes. After clicking Finish, all changes will be applied to Reference Value.

If the selected Reference Data is removed or is moved above within the same Reference Data model to another Reference Data model, or to another project, it is removed in the Instance and Master model tables as well. Reference Value is selected with a red validation symbol and the appropriate message appears as a tool tip in the Problems tab. You must select a new Reference Data using the same wizard. The process is the same as selecting a new Reference Data for the first time.

If a subject contains an Identifier data type, and its reference value is not selected, the reference value will be saved but the project reference value is deleted from its child nodes.

If a subject contains an Identifier data type, and its selected reference value is moved within the project or out of the project, the reference value is saved.

If you copy a subject containing an Identifier data type and its selected reference value its children node, the new copy of the child subject will be selected as the reference value.
