Permitted Values

Permitted values define valid inputs for an attribute and may be used to classify subtypes of the attribute's entity types.

Also be aware of the following rules:

The permitted value should be valid for the owning attribute. For example, do not enter a character value for a numeric attribute or a value that exceeds the number of characters for an attribute.
If several ranges exist for a permitted value, enter a definition record for each range. The ranges cannot overlap. Permitted values for character attributes cannot have ranges.
