Use

The following naming conventions apply to characteristics:

  • You can only use letters from A - Z, figures from 0 - 9 and the underscore character.

    You can also use hyphens in characteristic names. However, if you do so, you can only refer to the characteristic in object dependencies with the keyword SKEY. You enter the characteristic name in quote marks.
    Example: SKEY 'EXT-COLOR'

  • The characteristic name cannot consist of only figures.
  • The first character must be a letter.
  • You cannot use umlauts.

Please note:

For measuring points and measurement documents, not all attributes of a characteristic are used:

  • The number of decimal places and the base 10 exponent are copied from the characteristic as default values for the measuring point, and can be overwritten.
  • The number of characters is not copied from the characteristic. To restrict the allowed value set, use the Additional data function.
  • If negative values are not allowed for the characteristic, the lower limit of the measurement range is automatically set to zero, and cannot be defined as a negative figure.
  • The required entry attribute of a characteristic is not relevant to the measuring point, because a measurement reading must always be entered in the measurement document, unless the Valuation code is sufficient indicator is set.
