Custom Categories

You create custom categories for field attributes to determine how field attributes are displayed. You can organize the fields by indicator, database, table, or by category. You can also list the fields all in one folder in alphabetical order.

Complete the following procedure to create custom categories.

  1. From any Eagle window, click the Eagle Navigator button to access the Eagle Navigator.

  2. Enter Codes in the Start Search text box.

  3. Click the Codes (System Management Center) link to access the Codes window.
    You see the Codes window.

  4. From the Codes module, select the Field Category Code and add new code values. The short description holds a number and the long description holds the actual description, as shown in the table that follows.
    Short Description: 1 Long Description: Accounting Data
    Short Description: 2 Long Description: Performance Measurement Data
    Short Description: 3 Long Description: Holdings Data
    Short Description: 4 Long Description: Security Master Data
    Short Description: 5 Long Description: Shared Data

  5. Open the Field Attributes module, under the Metadata category.

  6. Assign a category to each field attribute. From the workspace, select just one grouping, or create a tree so that one grouping is designated as a main category and then one or more other categories are added as subgroups.
