Create Price Field Groups for Gold Copies

In order for a field attribute to be used by RDC, it must belong to a field group. Field groups allow you to define a group of field attributes to use with a data strategy. For RDC Prices, you add the field you are compositing prices to the field group. Once assigned to a price data strategy, the field group determines where the Best of Breed prices are posted.

Create Field Groups

You can add field groups in the Create New Field Group panels.

To create a field group:

1. From the Setup workspace, click Field Groups in the left navigation.
   You see the Field Groups workspace with the current list of field groups.

2. Click Create New.
   You see the Create New Field Group dialog box with the Define tab highlighted.

Open

3. In the ID field, the system generates a unique identifier.

4. Enter a Name for the field group.

5. Optionally, enter a Description of the field group.

6. Click the Data Type drop-down and select a data type of Price from the list. 

7. Click the Ownership/Management drop down and select the business group that will have the ability to manage data for the data strategy from the drop-down list.

8. Optionally, click All fields added to this field group must remain together to keep all fields together. This option does not apply to RDC Pricing as only one Field Group / Field is supported.

9. Click Next.
   You see the Fields tab.

10. Click the Select Fields drop-down and check the fields that you want to include in the field group.
    NOTE: This is the field where you want Best of Breed prices to post.

11. Click Next.
    You see the Data Strategy tab.

12. Click the Select Data Strategies drop-down and select the data strategy that you want to apply.
    NOTE: This option can be left blank as it is usually completed prior to setting up a Data Strategy. If a Data Strategy has been created and a new Field Group is being established, the Field Group can then be assigned when creating a Data Strategy.

13. Click Save & Close.
