Do you require more Item Types, maybe you just want a new Item Type with a different name. Cradle lets you create new item types to suit your working methods.
In Project Setup navigate to “Options – Item Definitions” and change the tab to “Item Types“. This dialog presents a list of
- the predefined types of item available in any and all Cradle projects,
- those that were in the chosen template schema when the project was created
- those added by a user.
New user defined types are used to extend a Cradle Database, to encompass new types of information. To create a new item type you need PROJECT privilege to modify the schema.
- Select the Project tab
- Select Project Setup
- Set Options to Item Definitions (if not already set)
- Select the Items tab
- Click New and enter a name for the new item type
Remember you can also add these newly created Item Type to the quick access bar, for more information see “Customise your Quick Access Bar”
