Below
are the steps to create a Relator
for a node that already exists in
the UDM.
Step
1: Essential attributes
Click
the Add relator button to bring up
the Relator
wizard
Provide a unique name to the Relator
- the name is case-sensitive and cannot
include spaces or special characters.
The
node ID is generated by zeroCode.
The
parent node for the Relator is the node
for which the Relator is being created
(say, the product node).
Specify
the relationship type to be one-to-one
or one-to-many. The Type of Related
Node lists all the tables that may have
linking tables from the parent node.
zeroCode figures this out by looking
for tables that are one step away, in
terms of relationships, from the parent
node. If there are no such relationships
for the chosen node, a message appears
that "There are no relatable types".
Step 2: Additional
attributes
The
name of the Relator is the name you
give the Relator in the previous step.
The
type of node being added the name of
the Relator table is also shown.
You
can add additional constraints for data
retrieval, if you so desire.
zeroCode
shows all the linking tables that it
finds between the parent and the type
of table that you chose. Select the
correct one, with its implied foreign
key relationship.
Choose
the type of representation you would
like to see for this Relator, as a list
of check-boxes or a set o radio-buttons,
etc.
Save
the Relator - this saves the UDM. Note
that you need to save the HTML after
clicking on the Regenerate HTML, if
you want to use the default HTML that
zeroCode builds for custom UDMs.
Provide a unique name to the Relator
- the name is case-sensitive and cannot
include spaces or special characters.
The
node ID is generated by zeroCode.
