Manage enumerations managing-enumerations
An enumeration (also known as ‘itemized list’) is a list of values suggested by the system to populate certain fields. Enumerations let you standardize the values of these fields, and help with data input or use within queries.
The list of values appears as a drop-down list from which you can select the value to be entered in the field. The drop-down list also enables predictive input, where the operator enters the first few letters, and the application fills in the rest.
Some of the console fields have been defined with this type of enumerations. Enumerations are called “open” if you can add values by direct input in the corresponding field.
Access to values access-to-values
The values for this type of field are defined and overall administration of these fields (adding/deleting a value) is performed via the Administration > Platform > Enumerations node of the tree.
-
The upper section offers a list of fields for which an itemized list has been defined.
-
The lower section lists the proposed values. These values will be repeated in the editors that use this field.
To create a new enumeration value, click Add.
If the Open option is selected, the user can add a new itemized list value directly in the corresponding field. A confirmation message allows you to create this value.
-
If the Closed option is selected, users will not be able to create new values, but merely choose from the values available.

About alias cleansing about-alias-cleansing
In the itemized list fields, you can enter values other than enumeration values. These can either be stored as they are or be cleansed.
The entered value is then either:
-
Added to the itemized list values: in this case the Open option must be selected,
-
or automatically replaced by its corresponding alias: In this case, this case must then be defined in the Alias tab of the itemized list,
-
or is stored in the list of aliases: an alias be assigned to it later on.
note note NOTE If you need to use data cleansing capabilities, select the Alias cleansing option in the itemized list.
Using aliases using-aliases
The option Alias cleansing makes it possible to use aliases for the selected itemized list. When this option is selected, the Alias tab is displayed at the bottom of the window.
