Field Attribute Values

CA 2E provides a number of default attribute values for fields based on the field type given to that field:

• Basic attributes—Characteristics such as length and implementation name. For example, by default, quantities (QTY) are numeric and seven digits long.
• Text—Several different types of text can be associated with a field. The text is used to document fields and title fields on device designs.
• Validation attributes—These attributes specify how data entered into the field is to be validated. Validation can include attribute checking such as upper/lowercase checking, Modulus checking, valid name checking, and validation through a check condition.
