Creating an Dependent Value Set and Values

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

There are different types of value set like dependent, independent, etc.

We are going to be talking about dependent value set. Dependent value set requires an Independent Value set. 

Based on which the values in the dependent value set are available.

To know how to setup an Independent Value set kindly use the link below.

For Example:

Independent Value Set	Values
Countries	India
	Canada

Dependent Value Set	Values
States	Delhi
	Mumbai
	Bangalore
	Alberta
	Quebec
	Ontario

Now Dependent Value Set: States is attached with Independent Value Set: Countries.

Dependent Value: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, we can attach them to independent value: India

So when the user chooses India only Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore will be available to choose from and not Alberta, Quebec and Ontario.

Creating Dependent Value Sets

From Setup and Maintenance > Manage Value Sets

Navigator->Setup and Maintenance->Manage Value Sets

Value Set Code	Levels
Description	Levels for Grades
Module*	Global Human Resources
Validation Type*	Dependent
Value Data Type*	Character
Value Subtype*	Text
Maximum Length*	12
Minimum Value
Maximum Value
Independent Value Set Code*	Grades

Save the value Set.

From the same screen, we can create values

Manage Values > Create

Value*	L1
Description	Analyst level
Enabled	Yes
Start Date
End Date
Independent Value*	Analyst

Here Maximum Length configured in value set will restrict the Value from being more than 12 characters in length.

If a Value having more than 12 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 an independent value set and values.
