Custom Common Data Classes

With the function Custom Common Data Classes it is possible to define own Common Data Classes or to extend existing Common Data Classes. The new elements are written to a private database. This way, they are also available again for each new configuration.

In the window shown, you can define your own Common Data Classes. For this purpose, a name, data type, a functional constraint and the trigger options can be set for each Data Attribute. In the Presence column you can set whether the element should be added by default or whether it should be optional. Using the arrows on the left side of the window, the order of the Data Attributes can be adjusted. In addition, new Data Attributes can be added or existing ones deleted.

In addition, the Sub Data Objects of the Common Data Class can be configured. Name and Common Data Class can be selected for the individual Sub Data Objects. In the Presence column you can set whether the element should be added by default or whether it should be optional. By using the arrows on the left side of the window, the order of the Sub Data Objects can be adjusted. In addition, new Sub Data Objects can be added or existing ones deleted.

In the figure shown here, the Common Data Class DEL (Delta) defined in the standard is extended in a user-defined way. For this purpose, a Common Data Class can be selected for editing at the top right of the window. One user-defined Common Data Class with the same name can be created per Common Data Class from the standard. Additional user-defined Common Data Classes must be given individual names.

By confirming with the button Create the new Common Data Class is written into the private database and is available for configuration from now on.
