How to add characteristic of File Location Value

Every characteristic referenced on an object references a characteristic type. The characteristic type controls the validity of the information entered by a user when they enter the characteristic's values. 

• Predefined value. When you setup a characteristic of this type, you define the individual valid values that may be entered by a user. 
• Ad hoc value. Characteristics of this type do not have their valid values defined in a discreet list because the possible values are infinite. 
• Foreign key value. Characteristics of this type have their valid values defined in another table. 
• File Location. Characteristics of this type contain a URL. The URL can point to a file or any web site. Characteristics of this type might be useful to hold references to documentation / images associated with a given entity.

To define a characteristic type, open Admin > C> Characteristic Type > Add.

Enter an easily recognizable Characteristic Type and Description for the characteristic type. Owner indicates if this characteristic type is owned by the base package or by your implementation (Customer Modification)

Use Type of Char Value to classify this characteristic type using  File location value.

Characteristics of this type contain a URL. The URL can point to a file or any web site. Characteristics of this type might be useful to hold documentation/images associated with a given entity.
