To create a database, go to the 'Manage DB structures' app
(Catalog > Profiles > Manage DB structures )
Adding a table
You can see the list of all existing databases within your
licence.
Click on the
'+Add' button to create a new database.
Step 1: Parameters
A database consists of 3 parameters:
-
Its name, which cannot include
any symbol or space.
-
Its description, for information
purposes.
-
The entity in which the database
will be saved. It defines the users' rights.
Once all the parameters are encoded, click on the
'Next' button.
Step 2: Attributes
A database is made of
attributes. To add an attribute, click on the '+' symbol then choose
your preferred option.
Depending on your needs, you have the choice between
-
Directly adding one or more
predefined attributes
-
Creating an attribute
according to your own definition
We advise you to always prefer a predefined attribute to the
creation of another attribute. We invite you go to
'Using predefined attributes'
to learn more about them.
Step 2a: Adding predefined attributes
The list of all the predefined attributes that you do not have
selected yet will be displayed. Select the ones you want to
include in the structure of your database.
As soon as you click on the
'Add' button, you will go back to
the list of attributes selected for the creation of your
database.
You will find 3 icons in the
'Properties' column:
optional
multi-valued
unique
If the icon is light grey colored, the attribute does not have
this property. On the other hand, a black icon means that the
property is applied to the attribute.
Please make sure to correctly define the properties of
your attributes before finalizing your database.
Due to coherence reasons,
modifying attributes cannot
be done directly by the user within the interface.
Step 2b: Creating a new attribute
You can create the specific attribute that you want.
Please
make sure to check beforehand if the desired attribute does
not exist among the Actito predefined attributes that you have
not selected yet.
You will need to complete two steps.
To learn more about them, we invite you to read the
'Adding an attribute to the profile table'
chapter.
Step 1: Parameters
Step 2: Value type
If you wish to delete an attribute before validating the
database, click the '-' icon at the
right end of the line of the attribute. You will then have to
confirm the deletion.
After adding all the necessary attributes, click on the
'next' button.
Step3 : Confirm
This last step allows you to confirm the creation of your
database. Your database will be launched as soon as you click
the 'Finish' button.
You will receive confirmation as soon as your database is
created.
Click on the 'Back' button to return to the management page of
the structure of your databases.
