- Hi tejaswini, I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you trying to add a property called Name to an ItemType? Eli
Eli Donahue Aras Labs Software Engineer - If I created itemType name "Design Request",then I want to create instance of that ItemType.But when I save that instance it should be saved with certain name not with 32 bit id.How it is possible.
- Hi tejaswini, You can configure the "keyed name" (i.e. the display name) for an ItemType's instances using the Keyed Name Order property. Setting a Keyed Name Order value for one or more properties on an ItemType will result in that property/those properties being used as the keyed name. For example, the default Part ItemType has Keyed Name Order set on the item_number property. This means that the item_number property will be set as each Part's keyed name, and it will be used for displaying the item in the Aras Innovator GUI. If you want to combine multiple properties for an ItemType's keyed name, you can set the Keyed Name Order on multiple properties. Order the values in the order you want the properties to appear in the keyed name. Eli
