Creating an Independent Value Set and Values

Value Sets help in Restricting/Validating the values entered for the flexfield.

For Example: You can create a value set which contains values having minimum 5 and maximum 10 characters.

The validation can be setup in value sets.

From Setup and Maintenance > Manage Value Sets

Navigator->Setup and Maintenance->Manage Value Sets

Value Set Code	Grades
Description	Local Grades
Module*	Global Human Resources
Validation Type*	Independent
Value Data Type*	Character
Value Subtype*	Text
Maximum Length*	10
Minimum Value
Maximum Value

Save the value Set.

From the same screen, we can create values

Manage Values > Create

Value*	Analyst
Description
Enabled	Yes
Start Date
End Date

Here Maximum Length configured in value set will restrict the Value from being more than 10 characters in length.

If a Value having more than 10 characters is filled in the field, the application throws an error message saying that the entered field is too long.

The value has to be enabled for the value to be available to the User.

So this is how you create a value set and values.
