SUPPORT Q&A - How do I add an extra description column to a part?

Moktarino - Friday, August 6, 2010 3:49 PM:

I know how to add the column in SQL, but how do I get it to show up on the page for the part?  

I'm reading the programmer's guide and I'll update this if I find the answer.  

 

Thanks!

Hi,

New attributes to parts are added from within Innovator. Select 'Administration'-> Item Types -> locate the item type to which you need to add the attributes.

Click Edit to open the item type and from the lower part of the screen add a new attribute.

Once finished - from Administration click 'Forms' and locate the form that matches the Item type you want.

Click edit and add the new attribute from the 'Unused properties' button.

Then save and close and your'e done.

Thank you so much!  I'm going to go hunt that down in the manual so perhaps I can prevent further newbie questions...

 

Now that I'm editing schema, is there any way I could use NVARCHAR(MAX) instead of NTEXT for "text" fields?  Apparently there is

a big performance difference between SQL2k and SQL2k5.

Hey there,

A couple of questions to you - 

1. It seems you never use the Aras interface to do what you're looking for. Is there a reason for that ?

2. If you're trying to add attributes or any other change to the data model - Are you trying to do that programmatically ? if yes then please post your question to the API forum. If not - Why do you read the Programmers guide instead of the Aras administration guides ?

Newb-ism.  I'll get the hang of things and quit asking dumb questions soon.  

 

There's an ARAS administration guide?   I hadn't looked through the installation folders yet, just on the "documentation" page here.

I'll read that next before asking.

 

Thanks!

In Aras Innovator, just go in the menu help -> Jusk Ask Innovator

you should get everything you need for basic administration.
