Restricted values

You can supply one or more restricted values for an attribute. Only integer or string type attributes can have restricted values.

When multiple restricted values are supplied for an attribute, users select one or more of the values from a list when they assign attribute values to a resource.

You can configure the values:

  • Manually using the Manage the system (PSA) module

  • Using a plugin to generate them dynamically

To define restricted values:

  1. Add the attribute using the Resource attribute information page, leaving the Plugin used to generate a list of restricted values blank.

    The Restricted values tab appears once the attribute has been created.

  2. In the Restricted values tab, type the Actual value, to be recorded in the database, and Displayed value, to be shown to users.

    To add additional values, click More or Update to add rows.

  3. Click Update when you have added all values.

    To delete a restricted value, select the checkbox next to the value then click Update.

The drop-down list above the section allows you to sort values alphabetically according to actual value or displayed value.
