please eplain about sharing option in user data extention.
thankyou
It means the user data extension you created for a certain element type (for instance, a text field for a pipe), can be shared/extended for use in other elements. Keep in mind that only the field definition will be shared, not the actual values it holds. Those are specific for each element. For example, if you have a text field for a pipe that holds the name of the person that imported it into the model (which can be filled in manually), you could share this field to the hydrant element, thus having that field also available to be filled for hydrants. This prevents the need to recreate this field and its parameters (variable type, name, label etc.) for hydrants separately.
Hello Abhishek,
What type of UDX are you trying to share across elements? Forumla-based UDX cannot be shared, since they will reference properties or results that are only available for a given element. The other types can be shared across elements.As for added value, it can help with duplication of effort, if there is some user-defined property that you want to include for multiple elements. This allows a user to create a UDX once and share it, rather than create the same UDX over and over again.
Hello Ankit,
I was using Formula-based UDX.
I have updated the 'Can we share Formula-based UDX?' section related to your query in the following wiki article -
Creating Formula-Based User Data Extensions
Thanks.
